Collector's Lot of Two Walther Model 1 Semi-Automatic Pocket Pistols

A) Walther Model 1 Pistol with Long Barrel Extension, as Pictured in "Walther Volume III" by Rankin

Manufactured from the 1900s into the 1930s. Fixed sights, two-line caliber and patent marking on the left side of the slide, push button safety on the frame, and a niter blue slide catch and trigger. The grips are smooth, and the barrel is fitted with a 4 1/4 inch long smooth extension sleeve that is numbered to match the pistol. The pistol appears on page 23 of James Rankin's "Walther Volume III, 1908-1980" (copyright 1981) where it is identified by serial number and called out for its long barrel and grips.

ConditionVery fine, with 90% of the original blue finish, showing a few areas of brown patina, mild edge wear and light handling marks overall. Grips are very good, with some light scratches, minor age cracks on the top and bottom, and attractive grain and color. Mechanically fine.
