No I don't believe it is. I think it was a post WW2 engraving made for GI's or as a gift for a party member. The slide is wrong for the period, the front should be at a 90 degrea angle not round.
It is nice though and I had wanted it since the 1st time I had seen it. The friend that I bought it from had it for about 10 years ago and promised that I had the first chance if he ever wanted to sell, which he did this weekend.
The gun did appear in Walther's table top book which my friend was nice enough to give me a copy of. I am happy to have it and almost missed my chance, he had recieved a good offer from the Walther museum.
