This is an excellent example of an all original, pre-war Walther model PPK "Party Leader" pistol with the highly desirable and rare Political Party Leader grip. These PPKs when fitted with the ultra rare Party Leader grip were officially known as the "Honor Weapon of the Political Leaders", as they were only presented to high ranking officers of the NSDAP for meritorious service to the party. The grips themselves are a one-piece wraparound grip consisting of a mottled-brown plastic material that has the distinctive large eagle clutching a swastika encircled by a wreath at the top on both sides. The left side of the slide is marked with the Walther Banner followed by the factory legend and caliber in two lines and the designation "Mod. PPK." The pistol itself is a pre-war commercial model with the "Crown/N" proofmarks, stamped on the right side of the slide below the ejection port and on the right side of the barrel at the muzzle and in the chamber area. The pistol falls right into a known serial number range (217000K-220000K) for these pistols. Refer to page 259 in the Jan Still book "Axis Pistols". The pistol has a 60 degree safety lever, cartridge indicator pin and lanyard loop on the bottom of the frame. The serial number is marked vertically on the right side of the frame behind the trigger with the last three digits (275) correctly scratched inside the slide. It is complete with one all blued, Walther marked magazine with the brown plastic finger extension. This very scarce pistol is accompanied by an equally rare if not rarer original "RZM" marked "Party Leader" type Walther PPK leather holster. This holster has the medium brown color, which has the very seldom seen inside of the flap stamped with the rare circled "RZM" logo over "L4/1304/37". Refer to the book; "Walther Pistols Vol. III by James Rankin, pg. 213, for a similar example of RZM marking. Research reveals the "L4" is for saddle and harness makers; "1304" is the code for the Sattler Firm of Anton Scheiner, Munich and "37" for the year of manufacture. In addition to this outstanding pre-war Walther PPK Pistol rig it also includes a pair of original WWII Political Leader's high rank collar tabs for the Orts Level or local level of the Political Organization.
