Walam 48 pistol, cal. .380 ACP

Here is a FEG Walam pistol model 48 from the year 1958. The weapon in .380 ACP is in like-new condition. The Hungarian replica of the German PP pistol is a true collector's rarity. The barrel profile is mirror-polished and sharp-edged. Manufactured by the Hungarian FEG works, the pistol is largely based on the ingenious design of the PP pistol. Originally designed and issued in caliber 7.65 mm for the Hungarian police and border protection. For a contract from Egypt, the pistol was also designed in 9mm short (.380 Auto) and produced under the model name Walam 48. For political reasons, the contract was only partially fulfilled. The majority of the remaining weapons from the Egypt contract in caliber 9mm, identifiable by the prefix E before the weapon number and the coat of arms of the Egyptian Kingdom on the slide, were then sold civilly to England. Pistols with E as a prefix and English proof marks were also resold to Germany, among other places. However, a small portion was also sold directly to Germany. These pistols do not bear the Egyptian coat of arms and have no prefix. The present pistol comes from this batch. Barrel length: approx. 7 cm. Dimensions: 17 X 12.5 cm. Weight: approx. 730 g.
