SOLD - Rare Party Leader Walther PPK (184594k - 34931 - RJ)

Description

1/8/25 - This Walther PPK made in 1938 comes with the highly desirable Party Leader grips, also known as a "Honor Weapon". These were sold or awarded to loyal Party Leaders upon recommendation from their supervisor in the party. This one is all matching and has the proper "Crown N" commercial proofs. It has retained about 94% of its original finish. There is an area of obvious finish loss on the front strap, some obvious spotty discoloration on the underside of the tang, and very minor muzzle wear. On the left side of the grip there is a hairline stress fracture in the eagle wing and again around the screw hole. The right side has no noticeable cracks. It comes with a correct Walther banner magazine with high polish finish. The finger extension also has a hairline crack on the front left side. Overall, a nice example of a very rare PPK, albeit not a pristine example which might cost double the price of this one. This PPK with the Party Leader grip was first reported in 2008 and it was found to be consecutively numbered to another Party Leader PPK.
