- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- 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.

😂😂 I'm just childish enough that I laugh every time he says PP and enlarged PP
😂😂😂
They knew what they were doing. They wasn't wrong and I'm not mad.😂
whomever chose the thumbnail and the episode title deserves a raise
the title is so out of left field and im very much here for it
Lol this title is gold!! 😂
That is a beautiful gun. Love the story.
Great story! Thanks for sharing it. Have a great weekend! 🙏🏼🇺🇸
One of your best, most information-packed videos.
'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.
Yeah that was definitely fascinating!
*INSERT IMMATURE AND INAPPROPRIATE JOKE HERE*
Incredible piece to an incredible collection, I'm sure.
if that beautiful PP ever come available I'm pretty sure it will be out of my price range
In the 1960's walther should have put these beautiful giant PP's into commercial production. They would have sold hundreds of thousands of them.
All it needs is a double stack magazine to be a "wondernine"
That’s a pretty cool PP, wish they would mass produce some for American market.
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.
Loved it and its never long winded when its a subject you enjoy hearing.
Hope you hold on to your pp as long as you can.
Ridiculously immature. Love it.
Can you purchase antique firearms from Legacy Collectibles? And if so is there a catalog, looking for a Beretta 1934 in 380 Corto?
On the Legcy website in the new listings there’s one a complete rig that just listed today.
@@Nick_B_Bad Thank you so much I will look into it on Monday, Thanks again!
so.. that's what it looks like when it's not cold...?
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
I think the Walther factory in europe will be interested to obtain this pistol.
I had a guy tell me once, "A good story sells." That comment made me not want to do any more business with that man. A "good story" isn't anything but a lie.
WOW ,,,, AMAZING !!
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
Great background. Loved this video
On occasion I also have an enlarged PP…😁
Very interesting. What's the significance of the ice pick pointer?
What a nice pistol! Does it lock up like a P-38?
Anyone else thinking SNL Sprockets when reading this title? I feel like a little girl!
The title of this episode. I...I...I just DON'T KNOW, man! LOL!
looks like a Steyer GB
Such a shame we can not own guns here in the Netherlands..unless you jump through some serious hoops😢
Here in Canada you can’t own handguns no matter how many hoops you jump through…..unless you’re a criminal, then it’s relatively easy.😑
your audio is clipping. Turn down the gain or use RX in post to take out the clipping.
I have a smaller PP with larger caliber
On that gun list what's #6 -- the 7mm "Steyr-Oester Waffensabr" full-stock rifle? Is that a Mannlicher bolt-action based on the M1888 German Commission Rifle?
I honestly dont know.
John Holmes PP...
i prefer the AP model myself it could be had in 45ACP!!!
Is it in 9mm Kurz or 9mm Luger?
9 mm Luger
I would be very upset about the Treaty of Versailles like any other German.
To say it clear, it was stolen from Fritz Walther
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.
priceless?
PP 🤣😂🤣
Should be returned to the Walther family.
Only AFTER I sell it ! :)
Beautiful weapons but using slave labor and supporting the Nazis didn't win them any courtesies...
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.
@@thomaswhiteman4261- Exactly. They need to make the right offer!
"Taken"? You mean *STOLEN.*

Yup thats right, forcibly taken from a murderous fascist.
oh noo it was stolen from the guys that enslaved white europeans 80 years ago
hey look its a gun from those guys that were pole dancing in weimar trans strip clubs 10 years before they were marching around in leather doing roman salutes LOL
Liberated , from a Nazi Supporter
