"Megatron!"
Exactly! I was wondering if anyone would mention this Mighty Transformer here. I had that toy as a kid. Pretty sure "he" was downsized from the actual gun. But the P38 does look pretty compact for what it is, a military grade sidearm, not meant for concealed carry or whatnot...

More Walther P1's
P1's are now back up on the website.
All are minty again, in the wrap. Some have the original test targets (first ones I have seen) Kinda cool.
Most are dated 10/83. That was a good year
Interesting to see Walther still had P38 on their test targets in 1983
White spots on the frames is old glue from the duct tape. Cleans off with some solvent.
These all appear new, un-fired.
Some photos...

Just found a few more minty P1 marked magazines. Sorry we did not have those listed on line previously.
Some photos of P1 and P38 Mags. There is alot of variance in markings on P1 and P38 mags in general as they were
produced over such a long priod of time. These are random photos of ones we pulled. Condition and markings are typical of
what we have on the shelf.
P38 mags are identical to P1 mags aside from the markings.

The reason why Walther's test targets in 1983 still had the P38 listed is that there were agencies in Europe which still used some (not the German military as far as I know but others).
When they got those to refurbish they were tested similar to new pistols before being send back.

More Arrived
More minty freshness just arrived this morning. Again we have posted them up on our website by date and S/N so you can select the one you want.
The wrapper was loose on S/N 663 so I took a few additional photos of what they look like.
These are like fresh from Walther in Ulm Germany but are from the mid 1980's. Amazing!
Some have the original test targets, some do not.
