Description
11/4/26 - This is a rare "480 Code" Walther P.38 rig, issued to the Nazi military in 1940. The "480" code was Walther's first P.38 production code, used for only a short time in 1940 before it was replaced by the "ac" code, making these early guns among the most sought-after P.38 variations. It is all matching and has the proper "Eagle 359" military acceptance proofs throughout. The gun has been refinished, showing only very minor high edge wear, with areas of light pinpricking under the bluing on much of the gun. Fitted with Waffen-proofed but unnumbered Walther grips. The decocker is functional. Very nice bore with strong rifling, 8.5/10. It comes as a rig with two numbered "480" code magazines, both mismatched to the gun, and an excellent 1940-dated hard shell holster. A rare early 480-code Walther P.38 rig with two magazines and dated holster.
