Re: STANDARD BARREL Leuchtpistole Model 26 Variations and Da
Next I have a Consecutive numbered pair of Luftwaffe Flare Guns in Aluminum, and with the Large trigger guard. I am including them with the Model 26's, because they are still in the Walther Commercial Serial Numbers, without the " L " suffix.
I think Walther probably added the " L " suffix to indicate the 1934 style pistol in the commercial series, but of course there was a large transitional period, with overlaps in production, and possibly special orders asking for the new or old styles. My earliest Walther "L" suffix pistol is numbered 22,917 L. It is aluminum, My highest numbered steel Walther without an "L" suffix is # 23025, and my highest serial number walther without an "L" suffix is #27,236 and it is aluminum.
Serial numbers on this consecutive numbered pair are # 24,179 & 24,178
Walther address and banner, N4002 and 1937 added, Luftwaffe Eagle / 2 Proofs
Aluminum Frame and Barrel, Black Plastic Grips,

Hello Signalman is it possible that an shorted lp26 has bakeliet grips?
