WALTHER ~ P38 ~ 9MM

The P.38 design goes back to Pre-WWII as a pistol to replace the Luger P-08. The design simplified production, and actually made a better combat conditions firearm. After WWII the Carl Walther company carried the production of P.38's to the civilian markets where they were produced without military markers. This one is stamped on the slide with "Eagle over N" proof mark, for Nitro proof, and a 6/60 for date of manufacture (June 1960.) It is in excellent condition, and shows little evivence of firing.
