Manufactured in 1940, the "480" code Walther P.38s were the first full production run of military P.38 pistols, having benefited from the lessons learned during the "Zero Series" P.38 run. Fixed sights, with the left side of the slide marked "P.38 480", followed by the serial number and the right side has the "eagle/swastika" and "eagle/359" stamps. The "359" proofs are present on several components and matching numbers on the frame, barrel, locking block, both of the ribbed brown grip panels and on the left side of the blued magazine.
