Walther P38 .30 Luger
A month ago I helped a friend identify and appraise a few guns from a 90 yrs old gentleman who wanted to sell them.
Amongst them was a nice Walther P38 in .30 Luger, built in 1976. It came home with me.   I dressed it up with the wooden grips of my 9mm

My P.38 is a WWII Walther (AC 42) 9mm. Cool to find a commercial gun in .30 Luger.
One thing my gun taught me, something that somehow never got mentioned in any of the stuff I read about P.38s, it ejects to the LEFT! Rather fun at the range when some kid to my left is throwing .22LR brass at me, I haul out the P.38, and throw 9mm brass back at him!  Usually, they get the message...
