Description:

This is a scarce example of a Walther semi-automatic shotgun that saw a limited production run prior to WW II. The magazine tube is housed in the forearm and the toggle link mechanism is operated by a lever on the right side of the receiver. Left side of barrel marked "CAL 12-65m/m = 2 1/2" KRUPPSTAHL" and receiver marked "WALTHER'S PATENT". Bead front sight and checkered round knob pistol grip stock with serrated horn buttplate. Length of pull is 14 1/4 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The shotgun retains 80% original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. The stock is fine with some minor pressure dents and scratches with some scattered blemishes and wear in the checkering. The underside of the buttstock has three holes from a now absent sling swivel stud. Mechanically excellent.
