World War II WALTHER “ac/40” Code P.38 GERMAN MILITARY C&R Pistol Replacement for the LUGER w/HOLSTER & EXTRA MAGAZINE
Description: World War II WALTHER “ac/40” Code P.38 GERMAN MILITARY C&R Pistol Replacement for the LUGER w/HOLSTER & EXTRA MAGAZINE Here we present a C&R Third Reich German Walther “ac/40” code P.38 Pistol, made in 1940 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 decocking 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/40”, the code for Walther and the year of manufacture. The gun bears the acceptance marks “Eagle/359” and “Eagle/Swastika”. The overall condition is very good. Armory refinished. The action is excellent. The bore is in great shape, bright with strong rifling. The grips are solid. Numbers match. There is a discreet import marking. Comes with two Walther magazines. The holster is in good condition. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 5 inches. Caliber: 9x19mm Luger (Parabellum) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1900 #230158 Price: $1,900.00 Buy Now Curio/Relic: Yes Contact Seller |
