300zero,
Is the saftey bar in the white? Put the pistol on safe and take a side view picture. It looks "too" good. There should be holster wear....remember this gun is 67 years old. If that is the original finish and the grips are original, this is a good piece. It is hard to tell from these pictures. |

A 1945 Walther P.38 mis- match is easy to spot because of the proofs.Most Military Walther have E/359, test proof, E/359 on the right side of the slide. The ac45 factory mis match only has one E/359 on the right side, that is it.On most examples the parts are from the C block.Here is an example from my collection. |

I think the 33 stampings on the side plate are smaller than the corresponding numbers on the frame...also,the side plate appears to have different contours than a Mauser one.......I guess by looking at the numbers inside the side plate one could tell for sure..
