Description:

Manufactured in the 1930s, the frame and matching numbered slide of this PPK have been subsequently gold finished and custom engraved on most of the surface, featuring classic Germanic oak leaf motifs and some scroll and checkerboard accents. The standard markings are preserved, with "crown/N" proofs on the muzzle and chamber. Fitted with a wraparound grip and two magazines, one with matching colored extension base, the other flat. Also included is a blue leatherette case with a French-cut interior for the pistol and extra magazine.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as custom embellished, with 85% of the fine gold finish, showing bright wear on the edges and some light handling marks. About 90% of the blue finish is present on the smaller parts. The grips are fine, slightly shrunken and bending, with a few light dings and scratches. The case is fine, though the interior cuts are a bit roomy in the grip extension regions. Mechanically excellent.
