The wooden grips are most likely early Nill grips. Korth and Walther were some of the first customers of Karl Nill after he opened shop in 1969. As far as I know, Nill grips could be ordered from the Walther factory on new guns, while from 1969 they came standard on Korths. I have a few sets of those same grips and the later ones, too.
Early Nills on a .32 PP
Later model grips on a .22 PP
Both are discontinued and Rhomlas is the new style.

Is the 7.65 mm gun stamped with the chambering? Or are the Swiss just smart enough to know which ammo to use?

Amongst them was a nice Walther P38 in .30 Luger, built in 1976. It came home with me.

Missed it, thought it would be on the side of the slide. Cool gun, common over there?

The 9mm is on the same spot
I don’t think so, it’s the first one I saw

The caliber marking is normally on the slide but some of the civilian models have it marked on the front of the barrel, since the barrels were available separately. Walther also had the P5 chambered in 7,65 Parabellum / .30 Luger since Italian civilians for some time were not allowed to own military calibres like the 9mm.
