Description:

This is late contract Walther Mod. PPK pistol that is fitted with a set of the highly desirable Political Leader Party grips. These PPKs that carried the party leader type grips were officially known as the "Honor Weapon of the Political Leaders" as they were usually presented to high ranking Nazi officers for meritorious service to the 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 slide has the standard banner, two-line factory legend, caliber and model designation. 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 is marked on the right side of the frame, and the last three digits of the serial number correctly scratched inside the slide. 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 range, which indicates that this example is slightly outside of the noted range of pistols. It comes with one original magazine that has a matching mottled brown plastic extended finger rest. With a brown leather commercial holster that is stamped on the lower front flap with D.R.G.M./Crossed Rifles/Akah" and a deeply stamped "B. WANZ/WAFFEN/GRAZ.GREISG" on the outside of the flap.

Rating Definition:

Fine with 80% plus of the blue finish overall showing edge and high spot wear overall with blue loss on the front edge of the slide with thinning on the front grip strap, with very minor light surface rust spotting overall. The holster is in good condition with a nice medium brown color overall, tight stitching with scuffing and finish loss on the outside edge and high spots of the holster with age and flex wear on top of the upper and lower flap. The markings are clear and distinct.
