Just recently picked up this WWII Walther beauty from a collector and am asking the all-knowing Walther gods on this forum to assist with the journey of discovering its history...
Some noticeable markings include:
- Left side slide reads: Waffenfabrik Walther, Zella-Mehlis (Thür) Walther's Patent Cal. 7.65m/m Mod. PPK
- Right side slide reads: 393929 k
- Eagle + N on gun chamber, slide and right tip of barrel.
- Eagle + swastika C behind trigger (left side)
- All black 'Walther' grip
So far, I've been informed that this is a 6th Variation PPK, with PP-rear sight and made in 1942 for the Polizei. (Credit: Marschall, D.)
Any other information about the history of this particular pistol would be very valuable and greatly appreciated. This includes any sources or links available to assist me in my hunt for further information on this WWII beauty.
P.S. - I've seen some examples of those Capture Certificates that have been
sold with the WWII memorabilia and would be GOLD to find one attached to this pistol! It would be like winning the freakin' lottery!
