4/29/20 - This is an extremely rare Zero Prefix Serial number, Walther P.38 from 1945. Only 1,750 of these were produced according to Whittington's book. This particular pistol shows two inspection proofs present on the slide, as the majority of these pistols were not finished in time to receive full military acceptance (only had one proof). The finish on this late war pistol is excellent, with hardly any bluing loss. There is some oxidation on the front strap, and the common casting defect as well. All parts are matching and correct. The serial does also appear faintly on the right side of the pistol but looks like a factory error that they tried to correct. This late-war pistol has matching slide, frame, barrel and locking block. Walther magazine. Mint bore. De-cocker does not work but safety does.
