French-made under license, this P1 retains the original French markings and boxed MANURHIN logo that identify it as Manurhin production for a Berlin Police contract. The Berlin Police sunburst/rosette property mark adds clear service provenance, and the A.E. CO. N.Y.C. import stamp is present.
This is the early thin-slide configuration that preceded later thick-slide and frame reinforcement updates. The slide has an open-top design with rear serrations, painted "S" and "F" index letters, and a slide-mounted safety/decocker backed by a firing pin block.
The aluminum-alloy frame is anodized and paired with a blued slide, fixed blade front sight, and fixed rear notch. Controls include a heel-style magazine release and a DA/SA trigger system. A lanyard loop is fitted at the frame.
Chambered in 9mm Luger with a 5 in barrel and 8+1 capacity, this full-size P1 is set up with black checkered synthetic grip panels and fixed sights. Two period-appropriate 8-round magazines are included, one bearing the Walther banner and one with P38-style markings.
Manufactured in 1963–1964, this example combines desirable early-configuration features, strong condition with an excellent bore, and complete markings that tie it to Berlin Police service and French Manurhin production.
