  • This video features one of the personal weapons of Fritz Walther - President of the Walther factory during WW2. It is a Walther Model MP - in 9mm. It is a prototype that never went into full production. Tom covers the "story" about how and why the gun was made, and then unravels how the gun came to be in the possession of Legacy Collectibles !! We think you will find the history to be amazing.

    'Buy the {insert collectible} and not the story', is solid advice. A 'story' is just that...a story. Provenance is very different from a story. Unfortunately too many people think a story and provenance are the same thing. Provenance can add a lot of value to a collectible, but stories are worth what their made out of...whole cloth.

    You mention that one of the items taken from Fritz Walther's home was an air pistol. I don't know the full history of Walther Firearms, but I do know that postwar the Walther Company manufactured air pistols. There is a very famous promotional photo of Sean Connery as James Bond holding a long barrel target style pistol. The pistol that Connery is holding is a Walther LP-53 air pistol. 'LP' stands for 'Luft Pistole' (air pistol). The LP-53 copies the lines of Walther's Olympia .22 target pistol.

    Even experts perpetuate the myth that the Luger P08 was unreliable in dirty environments. This has been definitively disproven in testing. The Luger is extremely reliable under those conditions. Testing has been done to show the design does a great job of keeping debris out ot the action.

    Frtiz wanted his piece larger and so he made it happen.
    An enlarged PP is what Walther always dreamed of having and so he made his dream a reality

    If I were to make an educated guess on the P3 eight as the selection of the replacement for the Luger, I’d have to say it looks like it’s cheaper to manufacture
    From the other 9 mm firearms like the enlarged Walther PP
    If you look at the barrel on the P3 eight sticking out by itself, the action itself is self-contained behind the barrel, whereas the Walther PP, which is actually very pretty good encompasses the barrel and I would say that would be a much more expensive firearm to make any military Troops, these guns would probably look at the long-term cost

      War trophies are a age old tradition of victorious armies. I have no problem with the taking of firearms from the factory that supplied enemy forces. I am opposed to the disarmament of civilians but I understand why an occupying army would do that.

      Yes, and when the Germans occupied other Countries they always let the population keep their weapons so that they could ambush their soldiers. NOT! Starting with the cavemen, whenever a person, tribe or nation defeated their enemy, they always seized their weapons.
