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?

Not sure exactly how to describe this but how do you get those quote sections below messages on threads . Some people have funny quotes or famous quotes and asking for help with a regiment . Btw I don’t mean quoting some to reply to there question

Hi,
i acquired this helmet a few years back and it is still the favourite of my collection.
Its in really good condition for its age, although there is deterioration to the chin strap and the liner.
I haven’t found any markings on it but i am not sure if there was/supposed to be….or where to find them.
Just wanted to share this with you all

regards
