The serial number is 246 ( the x value is the last digit of the serial # I was excluding in first post.ie not an x block ).and my source is a book that I have, in particular: Standard Catalog of Military Firearms The Collectors Price and Reference Guide 3rd edition by Ned Schwing published by Gun Digest Books ISBN 0-87349-902-6 mid right side of page# 126 (under Spreewerke Military) quote. I'm not being critical, just thought you should know, in case you didn't already. Spreewerk magazines were never serial numbered when originally made so those numbers were likely applied post-war. Here is a link to one of my cyqs so you can see the location of the original numbering. Your's, being an 'x' block (assuming that is the original serial number) would have been made in late 1944. The E/359 is the waffenamt for Walther and only appeared on cyqs on very low serial numbered guns made in 1942. It appears the gun has been heavily buffed, removing the old markings and then remarked. Hi Shooter13, Just an FYI, the serial numbers on the frame and slide are not in the original locations.
