Description:

Introduced in 1910, the Model 3 was Walther's first 7.65mm pocket pistol, and one of the first to be accepted by the European arms market. Though well made, the introduction of the Model 4 pistol rendered the Model 3 obsolete shortly after introduction, limiting overall production. Blade front and slide groove rear sights, "crown/N" proofs on the slide and barrel, the one-line caliber and patent markings on the left side of the slide, matching numbers on the slide and frame, deeply cut slide serrations, external extractor, and checkered "CW" monogram grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, with 80% plus of the original blue finish, showing bright edge wear, areas of brown and gray patina, and minor handling marks. The grips are fine, with a few light dents and a light faded chocolate color overall. Mechanically excellent. These Walther Model 3's are seldom found!
