Sharing a December 1944 Walther Factory example from roughly the middle of the L-block, the last run of the year.
I won't need to chase down correct mags and a holster, and it comes with the Czechoslovakian fnh barrel, stamped WaA76. Approximately 10,000 to 13,000 Czech-built barrels were utilized at Walther in late '44 and early '45. Leather is clearly stamped bla 1944, and WaA158. Very decent rig.
It looks good from a distance, perhaps as much as 95%, but unfortunately some pitting on the left side, and a concentration near the muzzle end of the barrel knock it down a notch. Front strap is thinning but not badly, a scratch or two on top of the barrel chamber and slide.
Still, nothing to kick to the curb - matching numbers and two correctly marked P.38vU e/359 mags. Frame is just a little plum.
Pics, enjoy and thanks for looking.
