Trying to track down the year of production and rarity of a pistol. This specific 22 cal PPK/S has the Walther roll mark on the slide. The Manurhin logo and made in France stamped on the grip frame heel in very small letters. Logo also on right side of frame and barrel. From what research I have found this could possibly be made only in 1984 or 85? Any insight or info is greatly appreciated.

My guess is 1983 or maybe 1984 based on its serial number.

Thanks Balogh. Any idea if pistols marked as such are scarce or rare. Since it appears maybe only made for a year or two?

I don't know the production figures. In the USA, this version is not really rare, but maybe less common than other models. In Europe, however, it would be a very rare one; I have never come across such a model personally.

Desert', you didn't get that out of a shop in Pennsylvania?
It looks like one I bird dogged on this forum, which was similarly marked.
