I just looked at two PPKs, one a 22lr and the other a 7.65mm, and I'm wondering if anyone can help me establish what I should be willing to pay.
The .22 is a PPK-L, 97% blueing, with original box, target, and one (somewhat worn out, flat base) magazine. Not sure about matching parts, since .22 PPK-L slides are unmarked. The bore is a little less than perfect, but it might have just been dirty. The internals seemed fine, but I'm no expert. One concern is that the DA hammer pull was heavier than other Walthers I've used (a PPK and PPK/S, both in 9mm kurz). Also, not sure about the year.
The 7.65mm PPK has maybe 95-96% blueing, with original box, target, and cleaning rod, but neither original mag. Serial numbers match, and it's a 1966. There are two little rust spots on the chamber cover, which is otherwise fine. The bore was either dirty or a bit worn, but the internals seemed fine otherwise.
Both had what appeared to be a little rust around the base of the extractor. Lastly, the grips were fine on both, and both had the smooth, unridged triggers. Any thoughts on what each is worth? The seller is asking too much, and I'd love some backup in citing a lower price. Thanks in advance for any help!
