Dirty Harry (1971) Walther P-38
Dirty Harry (1971)
Andy Robinson as The Scorpio Killer
Walther P-38 - 9mm
The Scorpio Killer proved to be a formidable opponent for
Detective Harry Callahan in the 1971 classic Dirty
Harry. Actor Andy Robinson wielded this Walther P-38 after
his character ruthlessly attacks a liquor store and steals the gun
from the owner. In the film's final moments, this Walther was used
by the villain in a hostage stand off that left the Scorpio Killer
dead, and Dirty Harry the victor. This original German World War II
production P-38 is a 9 mm pistol modified to fire blank rounds.
