  Walther LGV-DST.         With thanks to Mark for these pics, who says: "A rare one this,more so than a LG55 DST as these rifles were banned from competition use,just as Walther made the DST trigger unit available for the LGV. Stamped into the breech just above the serial number and next to the 'F' in a pentagon are a couple of what looks like shields one of which has '84' in it. Then there is '.705.' next to that. The breech unit is not drilled for fitting open sights. The standard rear diopter is fitted, although the front unit is fitted with a post foresight... Standard match stock with really nice butt pad and a wood plug just behind the end cap that was fitted to strengthen the pistol grip." Note that the breech block is not drilled for and open rear sight.

Walther LG-54MG (ball repeater)   Relevance 12 months  ago Garvin2 Walther
  Walther LG-54MG (ball repeater).   This is an exceptionally rare 4.4mm lead ball repeater, otherwise very similar to the LG51Z. It will also fire 4.5mm pellets single shot, providing a blank cover converter is used in place of the small, round bayonet-fitting magazine that holds the balls . The first rifle shown here, in fine condition, lacks the magazine but is complete with the single shot converter. The second rifle is complete with the magazine, which has a thick glass window for viewing the number of balls remaining. (With thanks to a collector friend for allowing me to photograph this rifle). Here is the rifle advertised in the 1954 brochure of the German distributor, Akah:     The rifle complete with magazine. With thanks to a collector friend for letting me take these pics:

  Walther LG-51ZD-M-DST.   With thanks to Mark D for these pics. It has an unusual one-piece trigger unit - quite possibly the forerunner of the unit used subsequently by Walther on a number of models - which, as Frank K observes: "Looks like a combination of a LG51/52/53 sear housing and a LG55/LGV double trigger unit to me. Normally these units should be separate and not (like this one) a single unit". Frank's two pics are at the end.

  Walther LP-53 Very Early Boxed Model. Courtesy of Leonardj.  A very early specimen of a Walther LP53 air pistol, bearing serial number 001345, in exceptionally well preserved condition.It is in its original box, with all the sight inserts, the cocking knob, the factory test target, and the owners pamphlet (printed in German). Sadly, the original cleaning rod was missing, and the original early grips were broken. The damaged grips were replaced with a set of later grip panels that I had as spares to make the gun look more presentable. The original grips have been retained due to unique features they possess, not seen on later style grips. This is the earliest known variant of the LP53 box. This early Walther box is very different dimensionally from anything that I have seen to date. The box measures 349 mm wide by 180 mm deep by only 47 mm high. The accessory shelf for the sight inserts inside the box measures 38 mm wide by 115 mm deep by 34 mm high. Contrast these dimensions to the box most commonly seen for these pistols, at 345 mm wide by 170 mm deep by 58 mm high, with the accessory shelf measuring 52 mm wide by 117 mm deep by 46 mm high.

  Walther LP-53 - A brief overview of the variants. Courtesy of Leonardj.  I have been researching the Walther LP53 air pistol for a great many years, and have been attempting to sort out the known variants that have occurred over the course of production of this unique air pistol. I have divided the known variants into five groups, and will describe the different features used to define each of these variant groups. Variant #1This particular group has only come to light within the past 18 or so months, because prior to any pictures of the very early serial numbered guns turning up. nothing was really known of the difference between these very early guns, and those that fall into the Variant #2 group. First variant guns have a number of differences over the later guns, but the most obvious is the markings on the side of the receiver. The three earliest guns known have machined markings, whereas, by S/N 002xxx, these markings are stamped. Variant #2The second variant guns appear similar to the first variant guns, but a number of engineering changes have taken place. The smooth receiver, and high gloss finish on both the alloy parts and the blued steel parts remain. The Walther markings are now stamped into the side of the receiver. The box dimensions have been altered to the size most commonly seen for the LP53. Variant #2, Sub Variant 1This is an interesting sub variant, of which to date, only four examples are known. The subtle difference in these guns to the second variant seen above, is that the top of the receiver, as well as the curved rear portion of the receiver has a crackle black finish applied from the factory, as seen in the inset below. Speculation is that this was done to cover up an imperfection in the casting, much like Webley & Scott did by engraving, to cover imperfections in the frames of their guns. Variant #3The third variant guns maintain essentially all the same features as the second variant guns with the only difference being that the entire receiver sports a crackle black finish, with the exception of a small oval area, into which the markings are stamped. Within the third variant range, at around S/N 024xxx, the adjustable trigger feature is dropped. Variant #4The fourth variant guns retain the crinkle finish receivers, but now the barrel is no longer a shiny, deep blue finish - it is a satin grey/black finish, almost appearing as though Parkerized. The steel parts have also had a similar satin finish applied - no longer that deep, shiny blued finish seen on the earlier variants. Variant #5The fifth variant guns displayed a complete make-over of the receiver, with the most notable feature being the elimination of the curved detail at the rear of the receiver, with a straight angled treatment. The barrel and all the metal parts retain the satin finish as seen on the fourth variant guns. What is interesting to note here is that while Walther states that there were 125.000 LP53 pistols produced, there have been several LP53 specimens surface bearing serial numbers into the 127xxx and 128xxx ranges. Another interesting note with regard to the fifth variant guns is that there appeared to be an engineering change to the sear bar and the piston sear engagement notch, that  took place at around S/N 127xxx. My research on the Walther LP53 is an ongoing project, and my information files are growing daily. My LP53 serial number database, which I began several years ago on the AVA forum, now contains several hundred listings, which have been very helpful in trying to determine when some engineering changes took place. Many interesting revelations have also come from the many LP53 pistols that I have had come to me for repair, such as the sear bar and piston design change noted in the fifth variant description.
