Hello fellow K.43 enthusiasts,
The P38 Forum had a neat thread about the very late Walther ac coded PP's. This also intertwined with the late P.38 ac45's. These pistols have variations to them that we collect. In the PP world there are the matching and mismatched group of ac coded, blank slide pistols. The P.38's are the ac45's that are matching and mismatched as well, but are in the c block and some scarce d block pistols.
So, I have a question on the late K.43's. If the P.38's and PP's were found in the factory at the end of the War like that, (some found and some assembled by American G.I.'s) why couldn't the same be said for late K.43's? Could some mismatched Walther c and d block K.43 rifles be legit, brought back rifles?
What say the experienced guys? What do you think; could some of the dismissed mismatched be actually okay?
