Hello All:
I just acquired a Walther Model PP in 7.65 cal. The only proof marks I have found are on the barrel and slide both are Eagle over N (Nitro Proof). From what I understand this gun was most likely made wartime production between 1940-1945 as a commercial Model PP. Serial Number is 326424P. All matching and in 99% condition. After filed stripping, still had grease throughout the inside of the gun even behind the grips..... No Army Waffenamt visible.
OK here are my questions
Is the "Eagle N" a military acceptance marking? As stated on Page 2150 of 38th edition Blue Book of Gun Values? (No weapons were exported during the war}
What year was the gun actually made?
I am attaching pictures of both sides of the gun
Thanks in advance:
