Description:

Part of the initial run of Walther's military production P.38 pistols, the Zero Series served to "fine tune" the Walther HP to Wehrmacht specifications as an important stage in the pistol's development. This particular example is a third variant of that series, fitted with fixed blade front and notch rear sights, a round firing pin, a serrated takedown lever, and an exposed extractor. The slide is marked with the Walther banner and "P.38" on the left, with "eagle/359" proofs on various components, matching full serial number marked on the slide, frame, and barrel, along with matching partial number on the locking block. The checkered grips are marked "480" and "Cewe" on the interior, with no number on the left panel and a matching partial number on the right, and the magazine is "eagle/359" proofed and numbered to a different Zero Series pistol. Provenance: The Thomas Whiteman Collection

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 90% plus bright original high polish blue finish, showing bright edge wear on the slide and barrel, and light handling marks overall. Grips are very fine, with minor scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent.
