"RZM" marking forward of safety, with outstanding "L" over "V" engraved over "1936" with the Germans "SA" emblem on front strap. Fully gold-plated. This firearm has been attributed by its previous owner as having belonged to General Victor Lutz, who was appointed General in charge of the SA by Adolf Hitler in 1936. This is one of the most elaborately engraved and embellished Walther PPK's that has been offered. Eagle N proofs are found on slide, chamber and bbl. 90 degree safety with the sub-assembly number "3" found under the grips on left side of grip frame. White Walther Banner checkered grips with German eagle holding swastika is inset in a pre-cast mortise on right side of grip. Thumb magazine release with loaded chamber indicator.

Pistol resides in a russet brown flap holster with the pre-war German "SA" monogram on flap with maker's name and date of "OBERHOFF CIE" OVER "LUDEN SCHEID 1939" over a Rampant Colt. This is an exceptionally rare presentation rig. CONDITION: Very good overall, with approximately 15% of the fragile gold finish having flecked from its high points of engraving and embellishment. This fragile finish rarely held up. Bore is bright with strong rifling. Mechanics need attention as gun fails to stay open on empty magazine and 90 degree safety only engages to the 60 degree position. Grips are very unusual, in very fine overall condition with light staining and several very small age cracks at screw slot and top of grip strap. 52700-12 TDW (25,000-45,000)
