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 pistols, with these special grips, were presented 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 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 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 (180073K) is marked vertically on the right side of the frame behind the trigger with the last three digits (073) correctly scratched inside the slide. It is complete with two all blued, Walther marked magazines; one with the matching mottled brown plastic finger extension, and the other one has a flat blued steel base. NSDAP Party Leader grips are found on Walther PPKs in the 850,000 to 935,000 range and again in the "174,000K to 234,965K" serial number rang. Clearly this matching example falls right in the middle of the second noted serial number range. This very scarce 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. The holster is stamped on the lower front flap with D.R.G.M./Crossed Rifles/Akah" which identifies this holster as being produced by Albrecht Kind, a noted holster maker throughout the war.

Excellent with 95% plus of the original blue finish overall and only minor edge and high spot wear. The grips are in very fine condition with slight warpage apparent on top, and very minor handling marks overall. The holster is in very good condition with a dark brown color overall. It is pliable and supple with a clearly visible NSDAP Eagle on the front flap and partially clear makers marks on the lower front flap, that's been indented from the stud closure on the flap. The stitching is intact. A very nice all original, high condition WWII NSDAP Party Leader PPK with an original Party Leader brown leather holster.
