This is an excellent example of an all original, Walther Mod. PPK Party Leader pistol with the highly desirable and very rare Political Leader Party grips. These PPKs were officially known as the "Honor Weapon of the Political Leaders", as these PPK pistols, with these special grips were presented, by the Fuhrer, to high ranking Nazi officers of the NSDAP for meritorious service to the Nazi Party. The grips themselves are a one-piece wrap around grip made from a mottled-brown plastic material, that has the distinctive large Nazi Eagle clutching a Swastika encircled by a wreath at the top on both sides, with the balance of the grip having impressed checkering. 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" proof marks, stamped on the right side of the slide below the ejection port and on the right side of the barrel in the chamber area. 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. It is complete with two blued magazines, one with a brown plastic finger extension and the other one with the blued flat base, both are marked with the Walther banner on the lower left side. Party Leader grips will be found on Walther PPKs in the 850,000 to 935,000 range and again in the "174,000K to 234,965K" serial number range, clearly indicating that this example falls into the middle of the noted serial numbers. This fantastic pistol is also accompanied by an equally rare if not rarer original "Party Leader" Walther PPK presentation leather holster. This holster was always issued and worn with these pistols as it immediately signified to everyone that the bearer of this holster was presented the Honor Weapon PPK. The front flap of the holster is clearly impressed with an identical large Nazi Eagle clutching a Swastika encircled by a wreath, same as the pistol grips are. The holster is stamped on the lower front flap, with the commercial mark of "D.R.G.M./Crossed Rifles/Akah" of Albrecht Kind, a noted holster maker throughout the war.
