Description
Now here’s something you don’t come across every day—a Walther P5C that doesn’t just speak to precision, but practically sings in gold. This rare 9mm semi-automatic, bearing serial number L80, was manufactured in 1988 and remains in near-new condition, the kind that collectors dream about but rarely find.
But let’s be honest—it’s not just the year or serial number that makes this pistol stand out. It’s the story told through its details. On the left side of the slide, you’ll find the special “Walther 1980-P5C” marking, a quiet nod to its limited run. Flip it over, and there’s the elegant “KSG” monogram engraved into the right—clean, classy, and deliberate.
And then there’s the gold. Both the slide and frame are entirely gold-plated, but not in a flashy or overdone way—it’s tastefully paired with oak leaf engravings that run deep and crisp across the surface. Even the aluminum frame gets in on the action with subtle matching accents. The contrast? A bold steel blue finish on the controls and hammer makes the whole setup pop in the best way possible.
Add in the walnut grips, hand-carved with fine oak leaf detail that mirrors the engraving up top, and you’ve got something closer to functional art than a mere firearm. Even the magazine doesn’t slack off—it’s gold-plated too, with a diamond-patterned base that adds just the right amount of flair.
This isn’t just a gun—it’s a legacy in metal and wood, preserved with the kind of care you rarely see. Matching serial numbers. A bore so clean it almost feels wrong to shoot it. It’s the kind of piece that draws attention in a display case and sparks conversations among collectors.
If you’re after a standout piece—something that blends old-world engraving with that unmistakable Walther pedigree—this P5C belongs in your collection. You won’t find many like it. And chances are, if you pass it up, you’ll be thinking about it long after it’s gone.
