Walther P38 Very early war production! One of the first 1000 weapons

 
Historical Rarity

Semi-automatic pistol Walther P38 caliber 9mm Luger very early war production.

The weapon has the serial number 796a, which means it was part of the first production batch (a) and is thus one of the 1000 weapons of the first series produced.

The weapon is completely matching except for the magazine.

In general, only 6000 weapons were produced in 1940, and this is number 796.

The low serial number indicates that it was manufactured in July/August 1940.

The weapon features several Wehrmacht acceptance stamps: WaA 359 (see pictures).

The Walther P38 is one of the service pistols of the German Wehrmacht and was introduced in 1938 and first produced in series in 1940.

It was intended as a replacement for the P08. By the end of the war, approximately 1.2 million pieces were manufactured.

The weapon presented is still in its original condition with slight signs of use and carry.

*The only function that is not operational is the decocking function of the safety. The safety itself works.

It was produced after the end of the war still under the designation P38 before the introduction of the P1.

The weapon does not have a reproof stamp, thus it can only be acquired by collectors and authorized firearms dealers.
