MGC67 P38

MGC67 P38 Walther

Back in 1975 I bought one like this for NZ$45 !! It was stolen in a burglary and I've wanted one ever since. Being a bit like hen's teeth (very few and far between) it's taken until NOW to have one to cross my path again (for NZ$130)!!
Thought members might be interested also in this model, which is dummy version. I think its action is called Tanio-action: when you pull the trigger the slide moves back and slams forwards. The hammer can NOT be cocked!

It has a missing return spring and piston, which I shall make soon, so until then I use gravity to return the slide.
(Apologies for the bits of cotton thread from my cleaning rag that are in the photos!)














(Note: the hammer does not cock or lock!)

I have P38's in the following versions:

Marushin P38 PFC
Maruzen P38 Gas Blow Back and
a Bruni P38 Blank firer

as well as a host of PPK and PPK/s pistols.
I just like Walther pistols I guess.

One question John - do you deliberately alter your photos to these kind-of "vintage" effect? Love it ...

By the way - got the dummy Marushin P38 military last Sunday - not as bad as I thought...and now eagerly waiting for the Commercial one (due this week)...

Look forward to hearing what you think of the new Dummy P38's! I just might have to buy one if you think they're ok!

Re the photos: I clean the guns witha cotton cloth then lightly oil with mineral oil (for metal) or silicone oil (for plastic).
Then photograph outside with a flash.
The resulting picture is a bit "washed out", and I adjust the brightness (not contrast) in a photoshop program, until I'm satisfied with the detail clarity.

I guess my intention is to show as much detail in the photos as possible so members can compare with their guns!

Glad you like the look; but I can post "au naturelle" photos if you prefer for comparison??

I like your photos, too

I bought some new grips some years back to fit one of my two P38s, and they didn't fit.
Now I know which P38 it suits.

This is perfectly OK - you can keep it this way ...

Thanks for the positive feedback!
Glad you like 'em!

And I've fixed the spring return now!

I have a couple of these too. When I first got them, (used) I spent a hour with one disassembled trying to figure out what was broken or missing since they didn’t cock! LOL. Until I read your post, I thought I was losing my mechanical aptitude for firearm mechanisms! Thanks

Hi Fearless. Glad it helped out. ''

They're quite nice replicas for the age and the time - and I guess because an MGC P38 was my FIRST modelgun replica I ever bought I kinda have an attachment to them!

I've just been making a display case for German WW2 pistols! When finished I'll post a pic or two.

Keep up your good work!

Hi
I'm new to the forum and had many of these mgc replicas in the past , I sold all of them some time ago with the exception of my incomplete p-38 which I had as a child , I'm interested in getting a few of these replicas back again as well as complete my P-38

I am missing a few parts on the P-38

The left side (non swastika) grip

Safety lever

Slide stop

I wanted to as would an original grip , saftey and stop fit on it?

Is there a classified section of for sale items , or graveyard junker section?

any online dealers specialize on these or parts?

Thank you for your time and help
