Walther "ac/44" marked FN style slide with Mauser factory "Eagle/WaA135" proof. Blue barrel with remaining parts having the phosphate finish. Visible "c" block serial numbers match and "P.38v/U" marked magazine.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrel retains 97% original blue finish showing loss at the muzzle. The remaining metal surfaces retain 90% plus original phosphate finish showing some minor thinning.

Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 186
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

One line "ac45" slide marking with "Eagle/359" proof present. Walther magazine, visible "A" block serial numbers match. Note that the frame serial number is the only number with a capital "A" instead of the usual lower case letter (the "a" dies were worn out in the area of the factory devoted to frame numbering and therefore a capital "A" was used).

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The pistol retains 90% original blue finish showing a smooth brown patina on the front grip strap. The grips are excellent with a surface chip and a few minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
