Super Rare Walther Model 6 Rig

Description

7/16/26 - The Walther Model 6 is one of the rarest and most desirable early Walther pistols, representing the company's first attempt to produce a full-size military sidearm chambered in 9mm Luger. Introduced in 1915 during World War I, the Model 6 was essentially an enlarged version of the successful Model 4, utilizing a simple blowback action rather than the locked-breech design favored by military service pistols. Although reliable, the heavy slide and stout recoil spring required for the powerful 9mm cartridge limited its practicality, and production ended after only about 1,000 pistols were manufactured between 1915 and 1917. Never officially adopted by the German military, many examples were privately purchased by officers and saw wartime service, making surviving pistols exceptionally scarce today. This particular example is featured on Page 33 of the May 2022 edition of Automatic Magazine. It is all matching with the proper "Crown N" proofs. It comes as a rig with two original magazines (one is pitted and reblued) and a super rare Model 6 holster. The holster is dyed black with a tan backing. The belt loops have been re-stitched, and the name "Barton" is written in a few places. The gun itself has retained about 92-93% of its original finish. While there isn't a ton of actual finish loss, there is somewhat scratchy wear on the grip straps and some minor spotty patina and dulling on both sides of the slide. Fitted with period-correct horn grips. The bore has good rifling, but there is light pin-pricking throughout.
