*FANTASTIC WALTHER ARMEE-PISTOLE IN ORIGINAL CONDITION, TWO MATCHING MAGAZINES.SN 042. Cal. 9mmp. Walther made a series of about 50 Armee Pistoles, all double action with an internal hammer, for testing prior to the military’s acceptance of the P38. This late production example has a 5″ bbl, drift adjustable front and a “V” notched rear sight. The sides of the slide were made with ridged reinforcement. The left side is marked “Waffenfabrik Walther Zella-Mehlis (Thur)” surmounting the Walther banner and the model denomination “Armee-Pistole Cal. 9m/m”. The slide mounted safety lever, has the fire position denoted by a recessed red dot. The right side of the slide is simply marked “Walthers Patent”. The right side of the frame is marked with the serial number 042 in large digits that are repeated on the slide, the bbl, and the locking block. All of these parts, except the locking block, are also stamped with a much smaller inspection number “52”. The pistol has standard wooden AP grips, the left panel having a circular recess for the lanyard ring. It comes with two superbly crafted replacement magazines that are correctly numbered to gun with correct size and font digits. PROVENANCE: The Esteemed Collection of Noted Expert and Author Warren Buxton. CONDITION: 97%-98% bright original blue with sharp edge wear around the muzzle and leading edges of the slide. Minor wear under the tang and on the frontstrap. 70% original fire blue on the thumb safety. Excellent original wood grips having sharp checkering and only minimal loss. The inner surface of the left grip is marked with a penciled 042; each grip is inspector stamped 52. Near new replacement magazines. Perfect mirror bore and perfect mechanics. Overall, a superb and all matching Walther AP test pistol whose two replacement magazines are nearly indistinguishable from originals. 52337-1 LMA (27,500-35,000) C&R – Lot 2016 |

*INCREDIBLY RARE WALTHER P38 PISTOL, MOD. HP, CAL 7.65MM, SINGLE ACTION, IN FACTORY BOX.SN 3262. Cal. 7.65mm. Super rare Walther Mod HP in Cal 7.65mm, experimental trigger bar, single action only with target grips in factory correct HP shipping box. Standard configuration P38 with 5″ bbl having drift adjustable front sight and red painted rear sight. Left side of slide marked with the usual Walther banner followed by 2-line address that includes “Cal. 7.65 m/m” and suffixed by “Mod. HP”. Safety detentes marked with a white highlighted “S” and red highlighted “F”. Eagle/N marking on right side of slide, right side of bbl, and right side of locking block. Full SN under bbl, on slide, on right side of frame above trigger guard, with the last three digits repeated on the locking block. Fitted with wood target grips, each internally penciled with a matching “5/3262”, with stippling over the left thumb rest and deeply checkered panels on the left side with separate panels of checkering over the backstrap to extend over the right grip. Left side of Mag marked “P.38”. Major and minor components with original high polish salt blue, locking block in the white, grips with original varnish. When Warren Buxton wrote his P-38 books, he documented a serial range of 3105-3259. This gun obviously expands what is still a very, very narrow range of pistols. In fact, this may be the highest recorded SN for this type of gun. Regardless, according to Buxton, “The P.38 Pistol, Volume I”, pg 156, it is “An extremely rare and very difficult to find variation which generates intense collector interest.” Complete with an orig wood grain shipping box whose lid features gold image of Model HP pistol with “HP” at lower left corner and a Walther banner in the upper right corners. Includes orig cleaning tin, that has orig oil bottle and Walther marked hair swab, in addition to orig cleaning rod. PROVENANCE: The Esteemed Collection of Noted Expert and Author Warren Buxton. CONDITION: Outstanding with over 98% of salt blue on all components. Slight muzzle wear and a few pinpricks of oxidative wear on front strap. Excellent original mag. Dark grips with 80% original varnish showing small areas of wear, oil staining, handling marks. Mirror bore. Perfect manual mechanics. Crisp box, whose lid presents nicely with minimal separations. Equally high condition cleaning tin and cleaning rod. A fantastically rare P.38, in the correct shipping box, that could be the centerpiece of any collection. 52337-3 LMA (15,000-25,000) – Lot 2017 |

◊*EXPERIMENTAL WALTHER PP WITH UNIQUE MECHANISM AND SEMI-SHROUDED/SOLID HAMMER.SN 421317-E4. Cal. 7.65mm. 4″ bbl. Extremely rare/unique Walther PP, clearly an experimental example, whose slide legend is distinctly different from production guns. Of greater importance are the internal differences in the slide, with respect to the firing pin housing, and the operating mechanism that can only be appreciated upon disassembly. The slide is differently contoured compared to standardized production. The left side of the slide is marked with a similar rear sight, the usual 2-line address suffixed by the Walther banner and followed by the notation “E4” internally marked with an “8”. The right side of the slide and right side of frame are proofed Crown/N. Adjacent to the slide proof is the number “3” that upon dis-assembly has been stamped on the inner surface of each grip. On the right side of frame, just behind the trigger, is an electro-penciled “421317/E-4”. The number “4” has been carried forward to mark the left side of the frame under the chamber, the inner surface of the ejector, the inner surface of transfer bar and the lower spine of the mag that has an extended solid metal base seen only on the earliest pistols and prototypes. Wood grips are checkered with a border and recessed to house the experimental mechanism. Included with this unique and desirable pistol is the US Army Capture certificate dated Nov, 22 1945. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess; The Esteemed Collection of Noted Expert and Author Warren Buxton. CONDITION: Orig 97% bright blue with sharp edge wear and minimal handling marks as expected in a gun made more for manual evaluation than hard field testing. Excellent condition grips, slightly darkened,with some blunted checkering. A thin sliver is missing from the upper leading edge of the right panel. Bright bore with sharp rifling and minor frosting. Perfect manual mechanics. An extremely rare and interesting Walther PP for the most advanced collector. 52337-2 LMA (20,000-30,000) C&R – Lot 2018 Click here to view provenance |
