Description

11/11/26 - This is an excellent and rare Nazi "Party Leader" Walther PPK, manufactured in 1938. It is all matching with the proper "Crown N" proofs. About 96-97% of the original blue remains, with an area of wear on the underside of the trigger guard and just very minor muzzle wear. It wears a rare Party Leader Walther grip in excellent condition, with no cracks or chips. It comes as a rig with one finger extension magazine, one flat-bottom magazine, and an original Party Leader Walther PPK holster. The holster shows honest handling wear, but the leather is soft and malleable with no stitching issues, and the name "Hooper" is lightly scratched onto the back in two places. Excellent, shiny bore with strong rifling. A sharp Party Leader PPK with a crack-free grip, complete as a rig.

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.
