Hello. I'm new here, and have a question. My neighbor wanted me to check on a ppk he has. He's not sure if it has any significance, as we cannot figure out what the symbol near the rear of the slide is (RMZ?). He mentioned that it could be from a German police officer or soldier around WWII. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the info! My neighbor was thrilled!

You're welcome. Your neighbor better be thrilled. Did you see the price on the deactivated?  £895. With holster.

In the US w/o holster probably starting at $1750. Depending on condition, much more. Please advise your neighbor not to go shooting the beejezus out of it. Keep it oiled, RemOil or Strike-hold should keep it in top shape.

Aaahhh, what the heck, tell your neighbor that you need to check it out first for function! You know, to confirm that the firing pin spring is sufficiently taut.
