The reinforced slide is the desirable 'fat' pattern, confirmed by the four-pointed star marking, with rear serrations and an open-top design under a fitted top cover. The slide is date-marked 6/72, and the pistol retains fixed sights consisting of a blade front and notch rear paired to a 4.9 in barrel.
Built on a pre-crossbolt aluminum alloy frame, this full-size P1 uses a short-recoil, locking-block, DA/SA system with a slide-mounted safety/decocker. Controls include a heel-type magazine release and a lanyard loop. It feeds from a single-stack 8-round magazine for an 8+1 capacity.
Markings include the Interarms, Alexandria, VA import stamp and German proof/inspection stamps. The frame serial’s last three digits match the slide digits '510'. The magazines are Walther factory P38/P1 type and are not numbers-matched.
This Interarms-imported example is from West Germany and the 1970s era, combining the reinforced slide upgrade with classic P38/P1 features. It is accompanied by two factory magazines, a black leather P38/P1 flap holster with spare magazine compartment, and an Interarms/Walther P38 box and instruction sheet.
