Description

6/26/24 - This is a terrific and rare Party Leader Walther PPK rig from the Nazi era. The gun has minty original finish with just a bit of muzzle wear on each side of the slide, and a couple small spots of wear on the trigger guard and right side slide. The serial dates it to 1939, and it's in the correct range for the issuance of the Party Leader "Honor" Grip. The grip is in great shape but does have a crack that was repaired on the right side.  Mint bore and finger extension magazine.  The holster is in good condition, though the eagle is somewhat faded due to age/handling wear. The inkstamp and other markings are fairly crisp, and the stitching is intact. Also included is an original Party Leader belt with buckle, also in excellent condition.

_____

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.
