This pistol is complete with one all blue unmarked magazine. The center section of the right grip is marked with serial number '833'. It is fitted with the standard black checkered plastic grips, with the four circular mold marks on the back sides as follows 'Cewe/480/v7/MD/Z3' with the bottom one marked with a number '1'. The right front corner of the slide is stamped with the Nazi 'Eagle/N' commercial proofmark, as well as the right side of the barrel, locking block and frame. The bottom of the locking block is stamped '544'.

The serial number, 15544, is located on the right side of the frame, the front of the barrel lug and the top right side of the slide rail. The left side of the slide is marked with the Walther Banner followed by the two-line factory legend and caliber markings followed by 'Mod.P38'.

This commercial version of the military P38 pistols were manufactured up until the end of WWII. This is an excellent example of a scarce mid WWII Walther commercial 'HP' P.38 pistol.
