the picture is a Walther Model 4, .32 acp in our caliber, produced from roughly 1915 to 1923, basically this gun is a new version of the Model 3, increased grip lenght to move up from a 6 round mag to an 8 round mag and the barrel lenghtened from 67 mm to 85 mm..............

Model 4 was purchased in large number for German military in WW1....exactly how many were produced is unknown......but total may well have exceeded 100,000............

production of Model 4 continued after wars end with slideslide marking changed from Zella St Blasil to Zella Mehlis in 1919...........

slide stamp in pic makes this one photo'd an after war pistol

Value from Blue book @98% = 325 to a low of 80 for a 60 % gun

HTH, Regards, Paul
