The first production Walther P99, chambered in 9mm and made in Germany. Accompanied by a Carl Walther factory letter, original test target, case, and full accessories.
Most P99 collectors chase the AS variant, the QA, the anniversary guns. This one sits ahead of all of them. It's the very first production Walther P99, the gun that opens the entire manufacturing run, and it arrives with a Carl Walther GmbH letter dated 27 January 1997 confirming exactly where the numbering of the P99 began. You don't see provenance like that on a polymer service pistol very often.
The pistol is the classic early P99 in 9mm x 19. Striker-fired, polymer frame, with the decocker recessed into the top of the slide and the paddle magazine release tucked into the trigger guard. The slide wears the deeply rolled WALTHER banner and the bold P99 marking up front, while the frame carries the molded Walther banner at the heel and the early Carl Walther Ulm address. Slide markings read 9mm x 19 and Made in Germany. The dimpled grip texture and ribbed sides are pure first-generation P99, the look that defined the design before later refinements crept in.
The metalwork shows honest handling. The slide flats carry a worn satin finish with light edge wear that reads as use, not abuse, and the deep recesses hold their black. The bore is clean with strong rifling.
The package is what carries this one. Alongside the Walther hard case sit two manuals, the cleaning rod, the interchangeable backstraps, a spare magazine, and the original factory test target marked for 9mm x 19 and signed by the proof shooter. The factory letter ties the whole thing together. For a Walther collector, or anyone who tracks the pistols that shaped modern duty design, this is the one that comes first. Literally.
