Walther Models 1-P99, Dieter Marschall. English edition; 2000
Dieter occasionally drops by the Walther forum. He is a renowned expert on Walther pistols.
Walther Vol. I, II, III, Rankin.
Know your Walther P.38, Hoffschmidt
Know your Walther PP Series, Hoffschmidt
Eine Deutsche Legende, Walther Waffenfabrik, German language and now english edition available.
P.38 Automatic Pistol, Gangarossa
The Walther Handgun Story, Gangarossa
The Standard Directory of Proofmarks, Gerhard Wirnsberger
All of these books are in my library.
Gangarossa's books contain many errors in several areas and many of the photos are not very good. He tries, but misses the mark on several points he should have researched more thoroughly.
Black Bakelite grips were not uncommon on many war-time P.38's. Some had them, some had red.

"...a historian asked what had happened to the German people for them to accept a criminal government. Unfortunately, nothing needed to happen. In nations across the world people accept government crime."
