Walther PPK
Semi-Automatic
Pistol with Rare
Night Sight - Serial
no. 902302, 7.65 mm auto
cal., 3 1/4 inch round bbl., blue finish,
plastic grips. Manufactured in the 1930s,

attached to the Walther without needing to
alter the base pistol, the assembly hooks onto
the standard front sight and uses a small thumb screw to engage a small hole in the front of the slide. A large white high-visibility circle is painted on the assembly, which can be lined up to fill the rear sight. Markings
are standard, including the matching number on the slide, with a ring hammer, 90 degree safety checkered wraparound grip and matching colored magazine extension.
CONDITION: Excellent, with 98% of the original blue finish, showing some light edge wear and handling marks. The grips are also excellent, with a bit of bending and a few minor scuffs. Mechanically excellent.

Very Scarce World War II Production Walther 9mm
Kurz PPK Semi-Automatic
Pistol with Extra Magazine
and Holster - Serial no. 254728K,
9 mm Kurz (380 Auto) cal., 3 1/4 inch round bbl., blue finish, plastic grips. Produced in very limited quantities; while the 9mm Kurz round found
an audience, many opted for the
chambering in the larger Model PP
instead of the more compact PPK,
resulting in an estimated 25:1 ratio
in terms of total production. Fixed
sights, with 1940s “eagle/N” proofs
on the slide, chamber and muzzle,
the traditional slide legend, and
the proper hand-scribed matching
three-digit number inside the slide.
Fitted with a ring hammer, 60 degree
safety, heel-mounted magazine catch,
and a brown plastic wraparound grip.
Two proper magazines are included,
the traditional flat base and matching
colored plastic extension combo,
properly marked “CAL 9m/m” on the
sides and configured for a heel catch
only. Also included is a brown leather holster (possibly Albrecht Kind) with multiple hand-marked signatures inside the flaps as well as an illegible retailer’s ink stamp.
CONDITION: Very fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, with bright wear along the high edges and around the ejector port, and some mild handling marks. Spots of cold blue touch up are visible on the forward slide. The grip is fine, warping out a bit at the front corners, cracked at the left screw escutcheon, and showing mild wear. The holster is very good, with some scuffs and
stains. Mechanically excellent.
Estimate: 2,500 - 37,500
