Description

In 97% original condition, we have a hard to find later 1942 “k” block  production Walther ac42 P.38 Pistol.   Notice the plum frame, which is commonly encountered on pistols from this time.  These late 1942 pistols have a less polished military finish and tooling marks were not completely polished out due to time considerations.   By this time in 1942  the pressures of war had made the taking of production short cuts a necessity at the Walther Factory and you no longer see matching numbered mags, and waffenamted small parts.  The finish began to be less polished as well. Function was not impacted, and the pistols were still fairly well made well into 1945.  Absolutely a top example of an early war P.38.
