Description

Walther Model 4 Type 2 .32cal Pistol with original holster, original magazine and one after market magazine. NEW LOWER RESERVE!!

Late Type 2 (Wartime and post-war production,1916?-1919?)
Approximate serial number range: 60,014 - 225,056* There is often no clear distinction between early and late Type 2 pistols but, in general, the later guns are characterized by greater heterogeneity.
Somewhere in the vicinity of serial number 60,000 we begin to see safety levers with checkering as well as with grooves.
Licensed production by other companies begins soon after serial number 60,000 and such guns are marked to indicate the maker (see below). Right side of slide is blank on licensed guns not made by Walther.
Early guns made by Meffert and other licensees may have hemispherical front sights.
Left side of slide marked:
in sans-serif capitals "SELBSTLADE-PISTOLE CAL. 7,65. WALTHER’S-PATENT".
in italic sans-serif capitals "WALTHER’S-PATENT CAL. 7,65???on one line above the Walther banner.
Right side of slide marked:
"Carl Walther. WAFFENFABRIK Zella St.Blasii.???
in or around April 1919, at approximately serial number 215810, (in sans-serif capitals) "WAFFENFABRIK WALTHER ZELLA-MEHLIS I???
or “CARL WALTHER WAFFENFABRIK WALTHER ZELLA-MEHLIS I???
or in italic sans-serif capitals “WAFFENFABRIK WALTHER ZELLA-MELLIS??? .
Early guns have no rear sight but gradually we begin to see guns with a drift-adjustable rear sight. These later guns often have a less-rounded slide profile.
Oval ejection port.
