Produced in very limited quantities, the 9mm PPK was originally nearly identical to the standard 7.65mm PPK save for the larger bore, with later designs introducing mechanical changes like the signature bottom release for the magazines. This pistol represents both, with the slide (hand-numbered "437", with "861,437" recorded in Rankin's "Walther Models PP and PPK 1929-1945", page 78) being the early style, distinguished only by the "9m/m" caliber marking, while the frame (also in Rankin's book, same page) is fitted with the bottom release as well as a standard wrap-around grip. Two magazines are included; the traditional "flat bottom/matching colored plastic extension" set, both properly lacking side cuts for the button release and marked "WALTHER/Cal. 9 m/m" on the left side.

Fine with 75% plus of the original blue finish on both the slide and frame showing areas of brown patina, mild edge wear, some dings on the left side of the frame and mild handling marks overall. The grip is good with some outward warpage visible at the corners and a few hairline cracks on the back strap. Mechanically excellent.
