World War II WALTHER "ac/44" Code P.38 GERMAN MILITARY C&R Pistol HOLSTER
9mm Semi-Auto Pistol from the Third Reich
Description: World War II WALTHER "ac/44" Code P.38 GERMAN MILITARY C&R Pistol HOLSTER 9mm Semi-Auto Pistol from the Third Reich Here we present a C&R Third Reich German Walther “ac/44” code P.38 Pistol, made in 1944 in Zella-Mehlis, Germany. The P.38 was designed by Walther to replace the Luger P.08 as the standard service weapon for the Third Reich’s Wehrmacht. The Luger was a ground-breaking design, but quite expensive to produce. The P.38 was the first locking breech pistol to feature the double/single action firing mechanism with a de-cocking safety lever, a prelude to many modern pistols to come. It also features a loaded chamber indicator that is both visible and tactile, extending out of the top rear of the slide, just above the hammer. The falling block locking mechanism was also carried into future pistol designs. Many of these design features are found in the Beretta 92 or U.S. M9 pistols. The Wehrmacht was the primary buyer of these pistols, but the German police also used about 6,800 P.38s. The left side of the slide is marked “P.38” and “ac/44”, the code for Walther and the year of manufacture. This example bears the acceptance marks “Eagle/359” and “Eagle/Swastika”. The overall condition is very good. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grips are solid. Numbers match. no import marks. This one comes with a spare magazine and a nice original leather holster. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 5 inches. Caliber: 9mm Luger Overall condition as seen in photos.
