Description:

This is an excellent early production Walther Party Leader Mod. PPK pistol rig. This scarce PPK pistol rig has the highly desirable Political Leader Party grips, an original Party Leader brown leather holster and brown leather belt. These PPKs fitted with 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. NSDAP Party Leader grips are found on Walther PPKs in two serial number ranges; 850,000 to 935,000 and again in the "174,000K to 234,965K" range. Which indicates that this example was produced early on in the second serial number block. The grips themselves are molded from 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. This example has the standard two-line factory markings of the Walther Banner, factory legend, caliber and model designation. The pistol is a pre-war commercial model with the "Crown/N" proofmarks on the slide, chamber area and front end of the barrel. 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 with the last three digits (657) correctly scratched inside the slide. It comes with two original Walther marked blued magazines, one with a matching mottled brown plastic extended finger rest and the other a flat base. As noted, this scarce pistol comes with an original Party Leader brown leather holster that is stamped with the large Nazi Eagle on the front flap. The lower front flap is stamped, "D.R.G.M./Crossed Rifles/Akah". It also comes with a unmarked brown Party Leader type leather dress belt.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 98% of the blue finish still remaining overall with blue loss on the front edges of the slide. The grips are in fine condition with some slight warpage on the top and lower front edges. There is a minor scratch on the upper right side of the grip. The holster is in good condition with a dark brown leather surface with a faint Nazi Eagle on the front flat with clear distinct maker's marks on the lower front flap. The stitching is tight. There is some age cracking and slightly heavier scuffing of the leather on the lower front edge of the magazine pouch. The belt is in very fine condition. A very nice looking and highly desirable early Nazi Party Leader Walther PPK rig.
