#Carl walther p1 9mm serial#

After the war, P38вЂ™s were manufactured by the French using captured Walther machines, and Manurhin was eventually licensed by Walther to produce the pistols commercially. The P38 was adopted as GermanyвЂ™s main service pistol at the beginning of WWII and during the war, it was made by both Mauser and Spreewerke in addition to Walther. These features are still in use today on modern pistols such as the Beretta Model 92. Our Assessment:В The P38 was the first locked breech pistol to have a single action/double action trigger and used a de-cocker instead of a safety to lower the hammer and allow the pistol to be carried hammer down on a loaded chamber. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.Д«ox, Paperwork & Accessories:В This pistol does not come with a magazine. This pistol was not designed with a magazine disconnect, but does have a decocker on the left side of the slide, which does NOT function as a safety. The double action trigger pull is a little stiff, and the single action pull has a small amount of creep. Mechanics:В The action functions correctly. Overall, this pistol rates in about Fine to Excellent condition. The slide serrations and the serrations on the small parts are sharp. There is also a light mark in the trigger guard, two light marks in the left side of the slide, above and in front of the decocker, and a light line down the left side of the barrel where it rubs on the slide. The left front of the slide shows thinning, a few light handling marks and a long light drag line. Overall Condition:В This pistol retains about 97% of its metal finish. All of the markings are crisp.Д«ore Condition:В The bore is bright and the rifling is sharp. The alloy frame is painted bright black.ДЇinish Originality:В The finish is original. Type of Finish:В The slide and barrel have a matte black finish.

The grips rate in about Fine to Excellent overall condition. The checkering is sharp, with a strip of heavy wear down the back edge of the left grip where is was sanded/polished at the factory to make it flush with the uncheckered portion just behind the checkering. There is a ding below the rear of the thumbrest in the left grip, a tiny mark near the bottom edge of the left grip and a very light mark in the lower rear face of the left grip. There is a shallow thumbrest on the left side and a cutout for a вЂњDвЂќ shaped lanyard ring at the bottom of the left grip. Stock Configuration & Condition:В The grips are two-piece checkered walnut with an oiled finish. The rear face of the front sight has a small white dot and there is a small white square under the notch in the rear sight, creating a two-dot aiming system. The front sight is a blade with a slightly ramped rear face and a curved front face that is fixed to the top of the slide. Sights / Optics:В The pistol is mounted with a flat topped square notched rear sight dovetailed into the slide and secured with a set screw. The right side flat is marked with an вЂњEagle / NвЂќ proof mark and a hardness test punch. The flat at the front of the barrel is marked вЂњ9 PARAвЂќ and the left side flat is marked with a Walther banner logo.
