You are looking at an all matching numbers Civilian production Walther Mod HP, produced in 1943-44. You can see the German eagle N proofs on all major components of this pistol. The BH marking and Eagle proof on the frame suggest that this firearm was a service weapon in the Austrian military after Austria regaining it's independence following WW2. The factory Walther billboard was scrubbed from the slide by the Austrians in order to avoid confusion between P38's and Mod HP service pistols having different designations for essentially identical firearms. You can see a faint letter P on the slide by the safety of what's left from the original Walther Mod HP markings. It's a piece of history and I kind of like the fact that there are no swasticas all over this gun. Mechanically it feels like a nicely broken in modern Beretta 92. The trigger is smooth, the break is sharp and the bore is strong suggesting that this firearm has spent most of it's service life in a holster while not being fired much. Very cool gun and I feel fortunate to be the owner of it.
