Interarms PPK Production Dates **Pics added**

After mostly seeing PPK/S', a local shop actually had a like new Interarms produced PPK in Stainless. I think the price is $486 OTD (I already put down a $100). Not sure what it comes with (it did have a pinky extender mag). I still have to wait for it to clear a 20 day "not stolen" hold before I can pick it up.

I was wondering from what years did Interarms produce the PPK? I couldn't find it in the FAQ's.

Thanks.

***Update***

Just picked it up. Looks almost new. Early A serial #. I'm guessing 1986 production.

I just picked up a stainless interarms walther PPK A0068xx Made in USA on left side of slide, Virginia on right side and has a few stamps in the grip. Does anybody know what they mean or how to date this beauty? For some reason a cannot post a pic but the stamps in the grip are on the left side(safety side of the gun), one looks like a backwards “S” and the other looks like a triangle or possibly an arrow(appears to have a small tail/line on the bottom such as an arrow, would) which is pointing upper left as of towards the front of barrel

Not an expert, but Interarms didn't do a great job keeping track of dates of manufacture. The best way to find out your date is if you're lucky enough to have a dated test target with your gun. There is a forum on here where people have posted their serial numbers with test target date to give a general idea. All that being said, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along shortly. Also that's a nice price considering the quality. I got mine for $525 with no case or papers, but 1 pinky mag and 2 flat bottom mags. Hope she's a flawless shooter. Had some hammer follow issues with mine out of the gate.
