I made the mistake of stopping by my local Evil Gun Store (hereafter known as the EGS) this morning and spotted this AC code (Walther) P38 sitting on the shelf. It is probably a bring back as there is no import marks and it has the original finish. Rest assured I didn't buy the story, only the gun and the EGS owner was willing to play "Lets Make A Deal"
I would say that it rates a solid 90% or so and has all matching numbers. The price was right, so, once again my uncontrollable impulse buying syndrome struck and it came home with me.
A quick bit of research shows that it was made in January of 1944 and came with two WWII WA135 code (Mauser) magazines.
Now I need to make a decision as to whether I am going to keep my cyq P38 or sell it. I do have to admit that it is nice to have a pair of them. The Spreewerk gun is a Russian capture That went through the usual Russian refinishing process, but it too has all matching numbers.
