Description

7/17/24 - This is a rare Party Leader Walther PPK rig from the Nazi era. The original blue rates at about 85%, with high edge wear around the muzzle and a large patch of bluing loss on the right face of the slide.  The serial number on the interior of the slide is matching with the frame. The serial dates it to 1938, and is in the correct range for the issuance of the Party Leader "Honor" Grip. The grip is in good condition, but there is a professionally repaired crack on the right side.  The listing includes a rare, original Party Leader holster in excellent condition.  The Party Leader emblem is clearly visible, and the leather is in great shape with no notable defects.  Faint internal inkstamp.  Minty bore.  Nice finger extension magazine, with small chip in toe of magazine. Spare flat-bottom magazine included.  Mechanically excellent.    

_____

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, and are widely faked, but this one is guaranteed original.
