Very rare 9mm Walther

[Darth 44]

Thanks for the replies and the links.
Wow!I didn`t think the Modell 6 was THAT rare!

"...probably the hammer broke off at the retaining
pin,if the trigger was pulled with the slide
removed."

Hmmm..I`m not a gunsmith but I`m inclined to say
that pulling the trigger with the slide removed
would be very harmful to any semi auto pistol
having a hammer.That brings some memories btw.
I used to own a Beretta 92FS.Once when I was cleaning it something bad tempted me.I took the
frame assembly and....pulled the trigger.When the
hammer slammed down I felt some odd vibrations in
my hand and I could swear I heard the gun shouts
"OUCH!!" Fortunately nothing broke but that was the first and the last time I did dumb experiments
with any gun.
I have a photo of fieldstripped Walther Modell 4
at hand as I type this,and I must admit that its
swan neck-like hammer doesn`t look very strong
indeed.In your opinion would it be the first part
to break if the design is scaled up to 9mm
Parabellum chambering?

One more interesting thing about the Modell 6.
It has the ejection port and extractor on the
proper side of the slide. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
