Which Walter Model is this
Researching the Walthers, this gun is shown as the Walther P5, however, in another reference the P5 Is shown similar to the P38.

The file named "wally.jpg" is a P-5, the second file is a P-38 (despite
what the caption says). I've noticed a sharp jump in P-5 prices in the last year or so, and a slide in P-38 prices as surplus German police pistols come on the market. Ken Strayhorn Hillsborough NC

The P5 does not externally look like the P.38/P1 but the internal mechanism is very close and it could be described as "similar" in that respect. The second picture is a post-war gun, either a P.38 or a P1.
