SOLD - Rare Party Leader Walther PPK (226814k - 22386)

Description

12/9/22 - This is is an excellent example of a rare Nazi Party Leader Walther PPK. It is all matching and has retained about 96% of its original high polish bluing with minor wear around the muzzle, and light thinning on the front strap. The Party Leader grip is in excellent condition, but there was a crack repaired on the right side. Comes with a period-correct brown finger extension magazine. The bore is minty. The serial number dates the gun to 1933, which is in the most commonly accepted serial range of a 1938-39 manufactured pistol. 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.
