This is a very scarce example of a WWII Walther PPK pistol, issued to the German Postal Service (D.R.P.). The German Postal service (Deutsche Reichs Post) was established in the late 1800s and ran until the end of World War II, when it was disbanned by the Allies in 1945. This early prewar pistol is clearly stamped "D.R.P." on the left side of the frame and are considered very scarce as they were issued in very small numbers that saw limited use during WWII. The right side of the frame is stamped with serial number with the "crown/N" commercial on the right side of the slide, frame and barrel. The slide has the standard Walther Banner and two-line factory markings followed by "Mod. PPK". It is fitted with brown plastic, Walther banner marked wraparound grip and is complete with a single blued Walther banner marked magazine. Included is a brown leather commercial holster that is ink stamped "WALTHER/PPK" inside the flap.
