Description
Some pistols make an impression. Others make history.
This Walther P99 (Serial D001001) isn’t just the first off the line—it is the line. The first production model ever made, this 9mm marks the very beginning of Walther’s leap into the modern era of firearm design. Before the tactical polymer craze took off, Walther was already there, pushing the envelope.
And it didn’t leave the factory empty-handed. This pistol comes housed in its original box, nestled beside a complete set of original documentation—papers that not only verify provenance but also tell a story. They speak to the care, the engineering precision, and the forward-thinking vision that Walther has long been known for. There’s pride in those pages.
But let’s talk about the real gem: an official letter from Walther itself, naming this very pistol as the starting point of the legendary P99 series. That’s not just paperwork—it’s a historical receipt. It says, “Yes, this is where it all began.”
To deepen the connection, the package also includes a beautifully compiled book chronicling the rise of the P99. It explores the development process, the mechanical breakthroughs, the design philosophy—and yes, even the gun’s cameos in cinema and pop culture. It’s part history lesson, part love letter to a firearm that helped shape an era.
For collectors, this isn’t just a lucky find—it’s the kind of centerpiece people build a collection around. It’s rare, it’s verified, and it carries the full weight of innovation and influence.
Owning the Walther P99 D001001 means holding the very first chapter of a story still being told. It’s more than a firearm—it’s a milestone. A true icon. And it’s still every bit as compelling as the day it rolled off the line.
