Desirable World War II Walther Model PP Documented SS Contract Semi-Automatic Pistol

This is an excellent example of a Walther Model PP pistol that was produced under contract for the "SS". There has always been much speculation over the years as to why some Walther PP and PPK pistols had unusual or additional serial number placement on the sides of the slide or on the muzzle end of the slides with many of them also having unique matching serial number placements on the spine of their magazines. Over the years researchers began to discover numerous documents from both the Munchen archives in Germany and the National Archives in the US that documented purchases of these Walther pistols by the SS. This beautiful Walther is one of those such pistols and just recently this data has been assembled into the excellent book "SS Walther PP/PPK Pistols" by Steven Stepan with the forward by John Pearson (a previous owner of this specific pistol). Mr. Pearson is credited with conducting the original research which revealed how to identify specific Walther pistols that were purchased by and used within the SS Organization and he has included a certification letter attesting to this pistol being previously part of his collection. This pistol is listed by serial number in this book on page 189 as having been purchased through the SS. As noted it is a rare late type 4 Walther PP pistol that has the "Nazi Eagle/N" proof marks on the slide, in the chamber area and the muzzle area with the P suffix serial number (202955) that has been applied to the right side of the frame and also factory applied to the right forward side of the slide, a feature that only exists for the SS contract Walther Model PP pistols in this serial number range. In his certification letter Mr. Pearson states that based upon his research and collection of serial number data that he believes for every SS model PP pistol there were approximately 5 SS model PPK pistols produced. Thus making SS model PP pistols much rarer than the SS Model PPK pistols. The left side of the slide is marked with the standard Walther banner followed by the two line address/caliber designation and "Mod. PP". The magazine is also factory serial numbered to the pistol which has been correctly stamped on the spine of the magazine with: "202955 P over 2", indicating this is the spare magazine for the pistol, an additional factory feature only found on SS contract Walther pistols. The pistol has a high polish quality commercial blue finish and is fitted with black plastic checkered grips with the Walther Banner at the top. It is complete with an extremely fine brown leather commercial Model PP holster which is correct for this SS pistol. The holster was manufactured by the firm of Albrecht Kind and has their Akah trademark marked on the front flap with "D.R.G.M." stamped above the trademark. An ink stamp on the underside of the top flap: "WALTHER PP". The holster is finished in a dark cordovan color and has a single wide belt loop on the rear. This holster is the rare detective variation with the magazine pouch attached to the leading edge of the holster body rather than the normal location on the front face of the body. This variation is referred to as the detective model because the location of the magazine pouch makes the holster overall thinner in size and thus it can more easily be worn concealed under a jacket. This is a chance to purchase a well documented and completely original SS Walther Model PP pistol with matching factory serial numbered magazine along with the proper holster all in exceptional condition.

ConditionExcellent with 97% plus of the blue finish overall with minor edge and high spot wear and some light thinning of the blue on the lower rear grip strap. The fire blue finish on the safety lever is still very strong and especially attractive. The markings are clear and sharp and so are the serial numbers on the pistol and magazine. The grips are also in excellent condition with only very minor handling marks. The holster is in exceptional condition with no finish or color loss and clear distinct markings on the front flap. An excellent example of a rare and highly desirable "SS" contract Walther PP pistol showing minimal wear and in very top collector condition.
