West German Walther P1 Police turn in

Ben Cartwright SASS · 11-05-2010, 09:13 PM

I just picked up this Walther P1 German Police turn-in imported by Interarms. it has a 1965 date on it, the question I have is there is a marking crossed out on the right frame above the trigger it appears to be a "B" something something (either an H or N or two lines)
Anyone have any ideas? The alloy frame is in good shape with no cracking

I don't have a clue...but I have owned 3 Walthers (plus one stuck in limbo)...

Most if not all Luger owners have a P38 or P1 as well, and there is a sister forum to this one dedicated to those pistols (and PP and PPK's as well)...
