This is a beautiful example of an all original Presentation Grade, Factory Engraved Nazi Walther Model PP pistol. The Walther factory has always been known for having some of the best European engravers, both before and during WWII and this pistol is no exception. The layout of the engraving on the entire pistol and the actual engraving pattern is just exceptional, rivaling any of the American engravers during this time. The Walther deep relief, traditional German "Oak Leaf and Acorn" style engraving covers virtually all the exposed metal surfaces, with several large engraved panels on the sides of the slide and frame. With portions of the trigger guard bow, the front and portion of the rear grip strap and flats on the frame also exhibiting a very nice delicate geometric designed border pattern. The pistol is a late pattern that has the 60 degree safety that has also been fully engraved. The entire pistol has been given a deep Walther blued finish and it is fitted with a set of checkered, black plastic, Walther marked grips. The markings on the left side of the slide have all been framed or outlined in an engraved panel with the oak leaf and acorn engraving going right up to the edge of the panels. The slide has the standard markings with the Walther Banner, followed by "Waffenfabrik Walther, Zella-Mehlis (Thur)/Walther's Patent Cal 7.65mm" followed by "MOD.PP". The right side of the frame and slide have the "eagle/N" Nazi commercial proof marks located on the right side of the barrel and directly below that on the slide below the ejection port. The serial number is marked vertically on the right side of the frame (192894P). Although there is no specific inscription or presentation markings, it falls in line with several other documented and fully engraved Walther pistols, illustrated and described in the book "WALTHER VOLUME II- Engraved, Presentation and Standard Models" by James L. Rankin. The pistol is complete with the postwar leather Walther presentation case with a red velvet/satin interior lining that comes with one Walther marked PP magazine with the black finger extension on the bottom.

Excellent with 98% plus of the original blued finish overall with just a hint of very minor wear on the front edge of the slide. The grips are also in excellent condition with no visible handling marks. Mechanically excellent The case is also in excellent condition showing only very minor wear on the edges. A truly high end condition, original prewar Walther factory engraved PP Pistol.
