sold SCARCE WALTHER MODEL 8 PISTOL….1st VARIANT 1926 PRODUCTION

In 95% condition, we have a decent example of the Walther Model 8 Pistol, which was Walther’s larger size 6.35 m/m pistol, which competed against the Mauser model 1910 for sales.  This example is the most commonly encountered version, known as the first variation and was manufactured in 1926. This pistol was highly sought of and sold fairly well until production stopped around 1942.  They are often encountered in a WW2 context, they were quite popular with pilots and also staff officers.  This example was a WW2 bringback that seems to have been carried.  Nice thing to have in your pocket as you climb into your ME-109.
