SOLD - Superb, Boxed Party Leader Walther PPK

Description

6/6/24 - This is an absolutely superb example of a rare Nazi Party Leader Walther PPK. Comes from the personal collection of Tom Whiteman. We can provide a COA upon request. The Walther PPK with Party Leader Grips was the "Honor Weapon of the Political Leaders". The Hoheitsabzeichen or High Insignia is the Eagle over Swastika found on either side of the grips where the Walther banner is normally located. The person entitled to wear the honor weapons that were awarded them by the Fuhrer were the Political Leaders of the national, regional and district territories, as well as leaders of local and support units. The persons who wore the honor weapon had their authorizations listed in the district personnel offices, and had to have in their possession a weapons permit issued by the police, which was obtained through official channels. These rare pistols were estimated to number around 3,500. This one is all matching and correct with no signs of wear or use - likely never left someone's desk. The grip is 100% original and shows no cracks or chips. Mint bore. The gun comes as complete as it did in 1939 with its original matching-numbered box, spare magazine, cleaning rod, owners manual, yellow cleaning rag, and cleaning tin (with original oiler bottle and horse hair that is still in its original plastic wrapping). Just an amazing example of this rare weapon!
