Make: Walther
Model: PP
Caliber: 32 ACP (7.65mm)
Location (city or county): Fremont - FTF PPT at UG Imports
Price: SOLD
Will ship (Y/N): No
Other info: This beautiful, historic piece is in excellent condition and comes with one mag with a pinky extension. It bears the Walther banner with markings that indicate it was made in West Germany at Ulm. Note that not all PP's from this era were eligible to bear the Walther banner (namely, the solely French-produced Manuhrin ones). The "42xxxx" serial number corresponds with production between 1972-1973 while the "72" stamped on the barrel indicates that it was proofed in 1972. It has matching serial numbers on the slide and frame. The "Eagle over N" stamp on the slide and barrel is a German proof mark and the Antler on the barrel is the marking of the German proof house at Ulm. Under the mag release, there's what appears to be an "XF" stamp. If you look closely, underneath the "X" is actually the coat of arms for the German state of Hesse. This coat of arms combined with the "F" indicate that this particular piece was at one point issued to West German Police in Frankfurt am Main, which is the largest city in the state of Hesse. The coat of arms was X'ed out after the weapon was retired from service.
Bonus fun fact: Just about everyone knows that James Bond's sidearm of choice is the Walther PPK, which was established in the very first Bond film, Dr. No (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=tU98uP7pXA8). However, the gun seen on screen throughout the film was actually a Walther PP even though they called it a PPK.

Other info: This beast of a gun from the Cold War is in excellent condition and comes with two mags. It still has the original grey parkerized finish as it was produced back in the 1950s (which is generally considered more desirable than the ones that were reblued during refurbishment in the 1970s). The firing pin is in perfect working condition (a common issue with CZ 52s is that the firing pin can break from repeated dry firing). It has matching serial numbers on the frame, slide, and barrel. This particular piece was issued to the Czechoslovakian Army as indicated by the "rid" stamp after the serial number on the frame as well as by the two crossed swords on the opposite side of the frame. The "53" next to the crossed swords is the year of manufacture (1953, which is midway through the gun's production run from 1952 - 1954). It does not have refurbishment markings, which you can also tell from having the original grey parkerized finish. The "T inside the circle" stamp on the barrel is a military testing mark. There is also a single punch mark on the top of the slide, in front of the ejection port. There are some who say that these punch marks are the result of an accuracy test (which range from 1 to 4, with 1 being the best). However, this has never been confirmed.
I had a blast learning about the markings and histories of these awesome guns and just hope their next owner will appreciate them as well.
Please do not post in this thread. PM me if you are interested. Serious buyers only - please make sure you have all of the necessary paperwork.
Cash only. I'm not really looking to trade at this time, but in case you want to make me an offer that's simply too good to refuse, please feel free
. I have a soft spot for hard-to-find/off-roster guns in 9mm or 5.56mm.
Thanks for looking and happy shooting!
