Hi, I received my P-1 today.

Apart from a minor handling rub on the barrel exterior and the import marking (which is on the bottom of the barrel) the P-1 I received is brand new. It does have the hex reinforcement rod in the frame, and doesn't have re-arsenal markings. It was imported by I. O. Inc, Monroe, NC and has a 3 line import mark.

There are no wear marks. Only handling marks. The barrel was clean. Remarkable.

It came with two Walther magazines marked "P-38" and dated 10/62 and one of the nylon Bundeswehr holsters.

I would gladly trade the nylon holster for a leather one, particularly one of the harder leather holsters.

I cleaned it and ran some dummy rounds through the action, which is nice and tight. Will get it to the range soon.

My P-1 was made in 10/75, so there must have been some kind of ATF ruling (perhaps to recognize it's the same firearm as the P-38, which is on the list)... I'd like to see the documentation.

I'll post some pictures shortly.

This is the second good condition pistol I've receive from AIM. I'm glad I've done business with them.

Marc
