Krutzek: P.38 german version

The Walther P.38 is the most iconic pistol produced in World War II. Safe, reliable, stylish, precise, modern. More than a million pistols of this design were produced from 1938 until the 1980ies. This results in a wide range of variations – ideal hunting grounds for collectors worldwide.

This source based and detailed book helps you to separate the wheat from the chaff. The autors personally checked several thousands pistols, went to the german military archives and used the famous Orvel L. Reichert P.38 database to create the ultimate book about the P.38.

Did you know? The P.38 is the ancestor of the actual US sevice pistol M9 – the best reason to learn all about this interesting piece of history.
