![]() According to what we know today, pistols which had previously been used by the Wehrmacht, the armed forces of Nazi Germany, and had been seized by the Allies of WW II were not released. The delivery of the first new Walther pistols started in June 1957. 45 ACP were the first handguns handed out to German soldiers. ![]() In its initial phase in 1956 the Bundeswehr had to procure major defence equipment as well as handguns from the Allies of World War II. ![]() The upcoming parts of this report will give the reader a more detailed description of individual features and introduce individual pistols.

It is my understanding that this might signify the grips were manufactured by Walther.Īny informative help or references as to the date and value of this pistol is greatly appreciated.Pistol P 1 – the Bundeswehr handgun – Part 1 The grips are fairly dark brown with six interrupted lines around the grip screw. The trigger guard appears to have an asterisk. If anyone can help me date this, it is 415 followed by the "t" suffix. However, most of the other Spreewerk P.38s I have seen sport a four-digit serial number, but mine has only three.
