I picked this one up over the weekend. #283131P Military finish in the middle of wartime production. My guess is late 42 or early 43. Any help in narrowing down is appreciated. This one lacks a WaA359 stamp anywhere. It looks really good in hand and in natural light. The photos reveal some pitting on the left trigger guard and a small area on the right side. If this is refinished it certainly fooled me but is very concerning to me. The pics do not lie. Would this be another private purchase gun with a military finish during wartime production or the WaA has been ground off? Opinions are appreciated. Who was allowed to private purchase pistols during wartime production? Is there documented serial number ranges for such items? The mag has the small Walther banner but is mm and not m/m. Post war mag?
