Description:
This listing is for One Pistol, the exact P38 in the photos. Dealers, collectors, and law enforcement, however, may take any number of very similar Walthers at the same per-pistol price and with no extra shipping charges. From duty on the front lines of the Cold War with the Federal German Border Police, Bundesgrenzschutz, or BGS, here is a very attractive Cold War piece manufactured in the Federal Republic of Germany, West Germany, in 1962 from its slide date, the year of the second Berlin Wall reinforcement, and a worldwide televised death of a young bricklayer shot to death by the Communist Guards of East Berlin. The killings had begun for all the world to see. This pistol is certainly a symbolic piece of that wall, and the island of Democracy that West Germany stood for. It bears correct West German proof marks, and Its only U.S. marking is the federally mandated import stamp, PW Arms, so marked on the right forward side of the slide. Slide and frame have matching numbers. This is a lightweight, alloy-frame model P-38 in 9mm Luger, production of which began in 1956. It is very similar to, and a direct descendant of, the fabled steel frame P38 of World War II. Construction is durable semi-gloss anodized alloy frame with matte blue military finish on its barrel, slide, and all its steel parts. Type is traditional double and single action semi-auto with full safety / decocking lever. The P-38 has a firing pin safety as well, but no magazine safety. Magazine holds 8 rounds of 9mm Luger, Parabellum, 9x19 ammunition, call it what you will, THE 9mm. Barrel is 4 7/8 inches. Sights are dovetailed notch rear and blade front. Weight empty is 28.2 ounces. Surface detractions are minimal, only faint amounts of whitening on its sharp edges and light holster contact streaking. We rate this piece as Very Good, close to Excellent, 85 to 90 percent vicinity by our estimate. If refinished, the lettering is so sharp it doesn’t matter. Photos, at any rate, should suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. It is excellent mechanically; bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent, and the West German Police always took good care of their firearms anyway. This is an excellent quality pistol, but not designed for +P loads. Its historical importance includes the fact that the P38 was the direct ancestor to our own well known 3900 and 5900 Smith & Wessons, and the Beretta 92 / M9. Own this fine Cold Warrior Walther P-38 for only $ 369.00. Definitely C&R Eligible; C&R licensed civilians only may own in Massachusetts.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
