This Walther Model 8 chambered in .25 ACP / 6.35 Browning is a First Variant made in Germany between 1920-1926.

This pistol includes one (1) eight round magazine.

This pistol is in very good condition. The grip panels are original showing very minimal wear and no chipping or cracking. The finish on frame and slide is about 65% with minor wear, minor scratches, and minor spotting. Finish on barrel and inner frame is mostly lost. The bore is very good with crisp rifling and abrasion wear.

Mechanically the pistol functions as it should. This pistol has not been test fired by us.

The Model 8 was the first post WWI pistol produced by Walther. It quickly became popular for its small size, innovative design, and ease of disassembly and cleaning. It would evolve during its production years with three variants, First from 1920-26, Second 1927-33/34, and Third 1933/34-40. During WWII it was often carried as a back up pistol for officers as well as air force and tank crews needing something small given their confined spaces. Its simple design and size would lead directly to the Walther PP and PPK.
