I picked this up today for about $480 OTD. It actually came with a Pachmyr wrap-a-round grip, but I had some factory grips I added. It date codes to 1978.
After getting it home and doing some research, Walther Germany didn't offer a matte stainless in 78'. So I guess it's been refinished in HC, electroless nickel, or NP3?
What's got me stumped is the light struck "S" at the end of the frame serial number (which I though meant "stainless")? Could it be Interarms that applied this finish? Also all the marks are clear and crisp (except for the frame proof and date code). Not a big deal, I bought it as a shooter to replace the one I sold 2 years ago.
Thanks.
