Description:

This is an excellent example of an all original, Walther Mod. PPK Party Leader pistol with the rare Party Leader grips. With these grips installed the PPKs were officially known as the "Honor Weapon of the Political Leaders", and were presented only to high ranking Nazi officers of the NSDAP for meritorious service to the Nazi Party. The grips themselves are a one-piece wraparound grip consisting of 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 slide is marked with the Walther Banner followed by the two line, Walther legend and caliber followed by "Mod. PPK.". The pistol has the "Crown/N" commercial proofmarks, stamped on the right side of the slide, frame and barrel. The pistol has a 60 degree safety lever, cartridge indicator pin and lanyard loop on the bottom of the frame. It is complete with an original Walther marked magazine with the brown plastic finger extension. Party Leader grips will be found on Walther PPKs in the 174,000K to 234,965K serial number range, indicating this example falls right in the middle of the noted range. This very scarce pistol is also accompanied by an original "Party Leader" Walther PPK presentation leather holster. 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. The holster is ink stamped on the inside with "Walther/PPK", with the lower front flap, stamped with D.R.G.M./Crossed Rifles/Akah".

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 97% of the original blue finish overall with edge and high spot wear overall, thinning on the front grip strap. The grips are in excellent condition with nice markings overall with some minor age cracking around the bushings with a crack just starting to show on the lower left side below the bushing. The holster is excellent with a nice dark brown color overall with nice tight stitching and clear sharp markings on the front. The Party leader emblem is also clear and distinct. A very nice all original example of a scarce Party Leader Walther PPK pistol and rare Party Leader stamped leather holster.
