Description
12/23/25 - This is a minty and rare Party Leader Walther PPK. It is all original and correct, with about 98% high-polish blue remaining. There is just very minor muzzle wear and one tiny spot with a few pits on the left side of the slide. The grip is in excellent condition overall, but there is one tiny repaired chip along the top left edge (barely visible) and one hairline crack on the right side around the screw hole (also barely visible). Serial dates the pistol to 1939. Mint bore. It comes as a rig with a very nice Party Leader PPK holster (some light surface cracking in the leather on the top flap) and a period-correct finger extension magazine.
_____
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.
