Top left. Upon enlarging and looking at pictures, the grips on it are not marked "Walther" like the others.

You were first out Imadman, but also the rest of you guys are spot on. The top left is the Predom Lucznik - a real (but not so bad) copycat.

Seems like there are a few recent posts about these. Not much of a pistol guy, but it seems popular.

I also have a PL and it is very enjoyable. I have reduced the transfer port with brass tubing per Stevoos instructions, but have yet to fabricated a new spring and top hat.
It isn't fair to the PL to call it a Walther copy. While it is the same concept, no part would even come close to being interchangable. Mine is a accurate as the shooter behind.

Looking more ,that trigger screw does not look original. There is a hole far up on the frame above trigger, not on the others and the others have two holes for pins aligned along lower frame area. I did not catch front sight, looks like a barrel band holding the sight. as for hollowed beavertail, I cannot get enough detail to see that.

You’re right about the trigger screw, it is not original. Came without one, and the shot went off when I loaded the gun after receiving it in the mail. The pellet hit the refrigerator door, and scratched the paint off, plus a nasty mark. Used toothpaste to cover it, but the wife spotted it right away. “Shooting in the house are we?!”
