The Modell 4 uses a fixed barrel and straight-blowback action in .32 ACP, paired with an internal hammer and a 7+1 capacity. The fixed barrel aids consistency, and the simple blowback system reflects the pistol’s service-oriented design.
Ejection is via the top of the slide, with a longitudinal sighting groove serving as the rear sight and an integral triangular front sight on the barrel bushing. Rear slide serrations aid manipulation, and the steel frame and slide provide a solid, all-steel build.
Markings include the slide legend "SELBSTLADE-PISTOLE CAL. 7,65. WALTHER'S-PATENT" with the Walther ribbon. The pistol was manufactured by Carl Walther in Zella-Mehlis, Germany, aligning with period-correct features collectors look for on Model 4 examples.
The 3.5 in barrel and manual safety round out a practical configuration. Checkered hard-rubber grips with CW medallions provide a period look and secure hold. Two magazines and a fitted black leather flap holster are included, adding completeness to the set.
