In this database there is a fairly even scattering of serial numbers from 392295 through 470766. There are currently only about 65 individual examples in my data base which much smaller than I would like, but it is what I have. I have used additional information that was provided by Dieter Marschall. I have fairly recently begun to compile a database of Walther Model 8 pistols with pictures of individual guns that I have owned, observed on various internet sites, or seen in books. These dates and production numbers are based upon the following information: This means that total Model 8 production was about 145,000. Serial number range 715000 to about 745000 (less the Second Variations in the mid 720000 range) and then in 1938 900000A to perhaps 100000A but probably somewhat lower. Third Variation: Beginning in 1933 or 1934 to 1940. Serial number range 700000 to about 715000 and then several thousand in the mid 720000 range. Second Variation: Beginning around 1927 to 1933 or 1934. Serial number range 390000 to about 480000. Production numbers and dates for the Walther Model 8 PistolĪfter an intense study of the information available to me at this time I suggest that the Walther Model 8 pistol production dates be revised as follows:įirst Variation: Beginning in 1920 to around 1926. *Serial number ranges will change as new guns are documented Total Model 8 production was about 145,000
