Description:

This is a fine example of a restored presentation grade style engraved Walther prewar Model PP semi-automatic pistol with engraved silver grip panels. The Walther factory has long been known for having some of the best engravers in Europe, and this pistol certainly demonstrates it. It features a traditional deep relief German "oak leaf and acorn" style engraving with a stippled background that covers virtually all the exposed metal surfaces intermixed with a little geometric pattern highlights in some areas. The engraving cover all surfaces including the front and back end of the slide, the grip straps, and complete trigger guard bow. The pistol is a late pattern with the 60 degree safety, ring hammer, loaded chamber indicator, and no lanyard loop. The slide has the standard Walther Banner followed by "Waffenfabrik Walther, Zella-Mehlis (Thur)/Walther's Patent Cal 7.65mm" followed by "MOD.PP". These markings have all been framed or outlined by the engraved panel. "Eagle/N" Nazi commercial proofmarks are located on the right side of the barrel chamber and on the slide below the ejection port. The serial number is marked vertically on the right side of the frame, and there is no visible number on the inside of the slide. It is fitted with a set of unmarked, hollow-back silver grip panels. The grips are also fully engraved in a traditional large oak leaf and acorn type design. It comes with two gold plated Walther marked P magazines; one with a flat base and the other with a replacement white plastic finger rest.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally restored with 99% of the replated gold finish on the outside of the pistol. The engraving is detailed, distinct, and sharp. The custom cast silver grips are also in very fine condition and may have been added at the time it was replated. A fabulous looking, gold plated Walther Model PP pistol.
