Try this site:

http://www.tague.at/pistolen/index.htm?/pistolen/pages/en_waltherppk.htm

It’s in German, but you should be able to find what you’re looking for.

Well it was the last time I looked at it.

You have a post-war gun Walther produced in Ulm. The web site provided above is for pre-May 8 1945 Walthers and will do you no good. Usually post-war Walthers were proofed on the slide/ejection port area with the date of production. Yours doesn't seem to have any ex-W German police property markings, nor any import marks, so it was probably a pre-1968 GCA import to the US. Just a commercial with no other history available.

Thanks for that.. I've researched that website already with no luck matching the serial number to a production date. Pistol has some how made it's way here to New Zealand. Possibly a returning serviceman?

Did you read my above post? The website given above is for pistols produced in pre-1945 Zella-Mehlis. Yours was produced in W. Germany in Ulm on the Donau after the end of WWII. I doubt it was returned with a service man as it was produced after the end of WWII. Don't know if it was imported to NZ or what. But it is a modern Walther.

Thank you, so there is no way of finding out a production date based on this serial number and proof Mark's?
