Hi new friends
Im like all of you a fan of PPK PPK/S and Walther guns in general.

Right now, interested in getting updated info that help me to stablish the manufacturing years of my two guns: a PPK & a PPK/S

=PPK A052223

=PPK/S 9359BAK (S&W)

Thanks for your help

Gustavo

A few good images of both sides of each slide will go a long way to help use with dating your weapons.

I can't help with the S&W but believe by the serial number of the PPK you have an InterArms Ranger 380 made before 93...

I'm basing that on the serial of mine: A065676 which is an InterArms Ranger with a test target dated: 02/02/93

Thanks for your suggestion, will do it later today
Rommel was right

The PPK/S 9359BAK must have been manufactured before February 3, 2009 because its serial number is included on the safety recall list. Based on this list, 2007 or 2008 seem to be a reasonable assumption.

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning Balogh...you say 2/3/09 based on the recall list but than also 07 or 08?

Again I've never had any interest in the S&W iteration of the PPK weapon so I will defer to those with the expertise....is it the nomenclature of the recall notice?

olsoul, there's a "before" missing between "manufactured" and "February 3".

That would certainly clear things up considerably.

Yes, thank you, you're right, of course. I completed my post.
