SS Walther P38

sold for 1800???? who would have thunk it/lol. yes, it's marked p1, an walther banner, nothing about it military, the gun appeared to be unfired when i got it, there is only the serial number on the left side of the frame, not a clue how the lanyard loop came to be missing

today i took the ss p38 to a gun show and one of the dealers there is a p38 collector saw it. he said he has seen one or two others in ss ,but they are very rare. we ended up trading , my ss p38 for two french manurhin p1's with extra mags and holsters and some boot, the blued one does not have import marks, grey finished or phosphate one does. I think i did ok, as these as good shooters and these look to be in good condition

I find it a bit odd that the grey one has a miltary inspection mark on a french p1, but who knows . Not even sure what the finish is, but i like it.

the dealer had nearly a dozen p1's i chose these two over the others ,condition and bores are very good, should make good shooters.

Your call of course, but Manhurins are a dime a dozen....that SS Walther is neat!
