Description
8/31/26 - This is a very rare Walther P.38 from 1940, known as the "40 added" variation. In 1940, Walther was assigned the new production code "ac". The first 2,650 pistols produced were made without the manufacture year marked on the slide, and at some point it was decided to add those last two digits. The earliest dated variation was made using slides that were already 'ac' marked, so the '40 date was added later. There were only about 6,000 of this variation produced in 1940. The pistol is all matching numbers, including the grips. Walther inspection stamps on all small parts. It comes with a numbered but mismatched magazine. The gun has lost nearly all of its original high polish bluing with honest finish loss throughout and some areas of minor spotty discoloration. The bore has good rifling, but there is pin-pricking throughout. De-cocker is functional.
