Title: Walther P38 .30 Luger
Post by: Classic12 on June 02, 2021, 03:52:38 PM
A month ago I helped a friend identify and appraise a few guns from a 90 yrs old gentleman who wanted to sell them.

Amongst them was a nice Walther P38 in .30 Luger, built in 1976. It came home with me.

I dressed it up with the wooden grips of my 9mm
