OUTSTANDING WALTHER MODEL PPK WITH PARTY LEADER GRIPS
SN 806275. Cal. 32. 3.3 inch bbl, Crown N proofs, Walther commercial high polish blue finish with Walther Banner and address on left side of slide forward of “RZM” (Reichs Zeug Neisterei). With outstanding mottled brown party leader grips with correct steel reinforcement on interior visible only during disassembly. Pistol is housed in its correct DRGM marked Walther PPK holster with belt and cross strap. These rare rigs were typically awarded to NSDAP party members who had performed outstanding or meritorious service for the party. CONDITION: Very fine with most all finish remaining, with typical holster wear on leading edges of slide and thinning finish just forward of chamber. Small area of pitting is on top of left side of slide as well as bottom edge of right side of slide. Bore is sharp and bright. Mechanics are crisp. Party leader grips are extremely fine with very minor typical warpage as is frequently encountered and slightly hinder safety operation as is a common issue on authentic party leader grips. Holster is fine with markings clear and legible and solid stitching. 8 TDW
