WW ll bring back pistols

[Ken]

I have a couple of WW ll bring backs that belong to a relative. His dad brought them back. He is looking for info and may want to sell them.
Here are some pics. Anyone have any info on them?

What info is stamped on the slides/frames/barrels? Manufacturing plant/date/caliber too.

Wood stocked one resembles an Astra, though which one I don't know. The other one looks like it has the Walther banner left side above the trigger.

 

[Ken]

The wood handel one says 9mm (then a symbol) 380 on the bolt.
Then on the slide it says UNCETA Y COMPANIA SA
GUERNICIA ESPANA

 

[Ken]

The plastic handle one says
SELBSTLADE-PISTOLE CAL 7.65.WALTHER'S-PATENT
Carl Walther WAFFENFABRIK Zelle St.BI.

The rounded one is an astra
The model depends on the caliber 380,9mm largo, some are nazi marked and worth a premium
That said Germans, like every other soldier , bought their own handguns or acquired them however they could
Not all German carried pistols were Lugers and walthers

They look quite complete. Personally I have zero knowledge of WWII pistols but a couple of now deceased relatives brought some back. With each one was a US government form declaring them a war souvenir along with the pistol’s description. Might want to see if this paper exists for any that you have. A friend who’s into this told me that paperwork adds to the value.

Bring back from my best friend's Uncle. I have the holster and extra magazine.

Go to a Youtube site called Forgotten Weapons and so a search on it, There is a lot of information about the history and background of firearms like yours on it.

The other one appears to be a Waltger model 4

An Official Journal Of The NRA | This Old Gun: Walther Model 4

Before the Walther PP and PPK became iconic handguns, there was another highly regarded pistol from Walther: the Model 4.

Those spanish Astras and other spanish pistols were very common here in finland during ww2. Those were cheap and easy to get so our military used lot of different spanish pistols.

I think the Walther is a Model 4 Semi Auto Pistol.
The Astra is a Model 300.
Thanks to everyone who has helped.

These are probably more like WW I bring backs. A Colt 1905 and a Webley 455 Mark VI.

I got them both from my Wife’s Grandfather before his passing.
