Nice P5 for $895. Maybe not a "deal" but...

I thought the BKA (Bundeskriminalamt) was like the FBI. My SIG P6 came from there.

BKA is a department within BMI.

Herr Walther. I am just very curious, but why do you think that your gun has a connection to the Dutch contract?

[Herr Walther]

There is no signal pin, there is a note from Danish police authorities taped to the inside of the box warning of this, the slide has the serial number etched by hand underneath, lanyard loop on the grip, magazines etched with serial number.

No other post-war PP series pistol that I am aware of lacks a signal pin.

Not my pistol anymore. It belongs to another member here, but I don't think Dutch and Danish are the same thing...

Herr Walther,

I do agree with the PP but I was curious why you think that your P5 has a Dutch connection.

Danish and Dutch are indeed not the same

[Herr Walther]

I don't know if it does or not. No one knows the exact history of these single line roll marked P5's and if anyone does, they aren't talking or are already dead.
