AC is a Walther made pistol

From the looks of the machining perhaps late 1944

What does the k in front of the ac mean? what is the going rate for a non import like this?

maybe a suffix to the serial No. ?

Depending on location & up close inspection 5-7 bills maybe higher.
Sure it isn't import marked? Earlier ones were done under the grips

Well I am helping out my local gun shop guy who is not computer smart, so I am listing items for him on gunbroker and in stead of paying me I am going to get the pistol after the stuff sells. So I hope its worth the work.

It's almost mine! I just have to wait for the auctions to close in a day and the money orders to show up. Then it's all mine.
