Up for grabs is a Walther Model 8 Second Variant semi-automatic pistol in .25 ACP. Serial number- 700735. This pistol comes with the magazine. The second variant was likely made from 1927 through 1933 or 1934. Serial numbers run from about 700,000 to 715,200, with another couple of thousand or so in the mid-720,000 range, for an estimated total production of only about 24,000. The Walther Model 8 was produced from late 1920 to approximately 1940. Production estimates vary. The gun was sleek and modern-looking and became an instant commercial success. Its external look is reminiscent of the Model 1910 FN Browning. The Model 8 was often carried by staff officers during World War II, and as a backup gun by aviators, tank crewmen, and SS, many of whom required weapons that could be used in confined spaces.
