This is an excellent example of an all original Walther Mod. PPK Party Leader pistol with the highly desirable and very rare Party Leader grips. These PPKs were officially known as the "Honor Weapon of the Political Leaders", as these PPK pistols, with these special grips installed, were presented by Hitler to high ranking Nazi officers for meritorious service to the Nazi 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 left side of the slide is marked with the Walther Banner followed by the factory legend and caliber in two lines and the designation "Mod. PPK." The pistol itself is a pre-war commercial model with the "Crown/N" proof marks 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 vertically on the right side of the frame behind the trigger. It is complete with two blued magazines, one with a brown plastic finger extension and the other one with the blued flat base; both are marked with the Walther banner on the lower left side. Party Leader grips will be found on Walther PPKs in the 850,000 to 935,000 range and again in the 174,000K to 234,965K serial number range. This matching example falls into the end of the noted second serial number range. This very scarce pistol is also accompanied by an equally rare if not rarer original Party Leader Walther PPK presentation leather holster. This holster was issued and worn with these pistols as it immediately signified to everyone that the bearer of this holster was presented the Honor Weapon PPK. The front flap of the holster is clearly impressed with an identical large Nazi eagle clutching a swastika encircled by a wreath, same as the pistol grips. The holster is ink stamped on the inside with "Herm. Kabmanu/Bad Bibra/Mullermeister", with the lower front flap stamped with D.R.G.M./Crossed Rifles/Akah" identifying this holster as being produced by Albrecht Kind, a noted holster maker throughout the war. Listed by serial number in Steven Stepan's "SS Walther PP/PPK" as a PPK pistol manufactured for and purchased by the SS.

Excellent overall with 98% plus of the bright original high polish blue finish showing only the slightest collector type handling marks. The markings are clear and sharp overall. The Party Leader grips are in excellent condition with a nice original matching mottled color on both sides and an extremely minor hairline crack just starting at the very top of the center section of the grip above the back strap area. The finger extension is also in excellent condition with excellent color. The holster is also in excellent condition with a nice light brown color overall, and minor scratches and scuffs overall, and tight stitching and a clear distinct eagle on the front flap. An extraordinary Walther Party Leader PPK with uniquely marked original Party Leader Holster.
