These are not only P5's, but since this section doesn't get many posts I am showing all my current Walther collection here.
Here are my P5's. The P5C is my most expensive of my collection. The P5 was an SOG gun than had the usual sucky finish, so I finally found a DIY finish I can do at home. It is a type of rust blueing you do on the stove in boiling water, I did only the slide:
Next up are my post war PP's (kind of). This is a poor man's collection. The PP Super is all original. The PP is a '67 that also had a crappy slide, so I gave it the same treatment as my P5 above. The PPK is actually a made up gun. The frame is a reblue from a 1941 gun, the slide is a non serial numbered postwar slide with original Walther finish and the grips are Interarms. I told you this was a poor man's collection, but I did the PPK for a total of $550 and it shoots great:
And finally, this is my pre war and war time collection. The P38 is an ac44 with all matching with correct mag. The Sauer 38H of course is not a Walther, but it is war time. I need a decocking lever spring for it if anyone can help me out. And the Model 5 I just picked up for $300 and it is in pretty good shape:
I hope you enjoy the pics (and I hope they turned out ok). I call this a poor man's collection because I have spent between 260 to 550 for each of these except the P5C, and even though some do not have original finishes anymore, they still look and shoot good.
