This is an attractive custom engraved Walther PPK pistol in the very scarce 9mm Kurz (380 Auto) that is fitted with a set of Nazi High Party Leader grips, which has been lavishly engraved with a fine scroll engraved pattern overall, (even through the slide markings) that has been highlighted with a fine gold wire inlay that borders all the engraved panels. This pistol has been further embellished with a 3/8 inch high, raised gold inlayed "SS" runes on the front grip strap a raised gold spread wing Nazi eagle clutching a swastika on the slide and "RZM" markings on the left hand side of the slide. Both the "SS" runes and the "RZM" markings have been encircled with the fine gold wire inlay. As noted this pistol is chambered in 9mm Kurz which in itself is a desirable feature as so few were produced, that was later fitted with a set of very rare High Party Leader brown plastic checkered grips with the reinforced metal backs. Over 90% of the exposed metal surfaces of this pistol have been lavishly engraved with a very nice fine scrolling engraving with a punch dot or stippled back ground for shading. The chamber area of the barrel has also been engraved in a cross-hatched pattern. These High Party Leader grips were presented to high Nazi party officials of the NSDAP organization for meritorious accomplishments. The left side of the slide has the standard Walther PPK markings correctly spaced to accommodate the "9 m/m" markings with a "RZM" marking engraved at the rear of the slide ledged. The left side of the slide has the following slide markings of slide showing the "WALTHER" banner next to "Waffenfabrik Walther, Zella-Mehlis (Thur)/ Walther's Patent Cal. 9 m/m" and "Mod. PPK, followed by the RZM" markings. The right side of the frame and slide have the correct "Crown N" commercial proofmark directly below the ejection port. The pistol is complete with one blued Post war Walther marked "9 m/m" magazine and a blued Walther presentation pistol case with red velvet lining.
