Outstanding Pre-World War II Nazi Walther PPK Party Leader Semi-Automatic Pistol with Brown Leather PPK Holster, Party Leader Belt and Gold Buckle

This is an outstanding all original Walther Mod. PPK Party Leader pistol with the highly desirable and very rare Political Leader Party grips. With these special Party Leader grips installed they were officially known as the "Honor Weapon" of the Political Leaders as they were only presented to high ranking Nazi officers of the NSDAP for meritorious service to the Nazi Party. This series of Party Leader Walther PPK pistols are most often found in the serial number range of 850,000 to 935,000 and again in the 174,000K to 234,965K serial number range. Although this example is slightly higher than the noted serial number range, it still appears to be an original Party Leader PPK, as it has the high polish, Walther commercial blue finish. The grips are the same, one-piece wraparound style made from the same mottled brown plastic material as the standard grips; however, these have the large distinctive Nazi eagle clutching a Swastika encircled by a wreath molded into the each side of the grip, with the balance having the same impressed checkering. The left side of the slide is has the Walther Banner/factory legend followed by the caliber in two lines with the designation "Mod. PPK." The pistol is stamped with the pre-war commercial "Crown/N" proofmarks on the right side of the slide, the frame in the chamber area and again on the front edge of the muzzle. The pistol has a 60 degree safety lever, cartridge indicator pin, and lanyard loop on the bottom of the frame. As noted, this rare pistol is complete with an original brown leather party leader belt and a gold colored party leader belt buckle. The belt is unmarked; however, the back side of the buckle has the cast in markings of "RZM/M4/39". It is also accompanied with a standard brown leather holster that is stamped inside the flap: "WALTHER PPK" and with EH D.R.G.M./Cross Rifle proof of the Albrecht kind factory. It is also marked in ink inside the flap with two other Walther pistol serial numbers (2999744K and 199487) over the name Otto Hartel.

ConditionExcellent with 98% of the bright original high polish blue finish overall with high spot wear on the front edge of the slide. 85% of the original nitre blue remains on the safety lever. The grips are also in excellent condition with nice distinct checkering and Nazi eagle marking on both sides and only a very small stress crack on each side at the very edge of grip screw bushing. The holster is in excellent condition with an nice light brown color overall, super tight stitching, and only minor scuffing on back side of the toe area. The brown leather belt and buckle are both in very fine condition overall with the belt having a nice medium brown color and minor wrinkling of the leather on the face of the belt in some areas. The buckle retains 90% of its gold color surface finish with minor wear on the edge and high points. A super nice example of a very desirable Walther PPK Party Leader pistol.
