This is an excellent early production Walther Party Leader Mod. PPK pistol. 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. 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. The left side of the slide has the Walther Banner followed by the standard two-line factory markings/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 (037) correctly scratched inside the slide. It comes with one matching blued Walther marked magazine with the rare mottled brown plastic larger extended finger rest.
