Walther PPK, SS-issued (K suffix w/ Matching Mag) RHSA Nazi WW2 Guns International #: 101562968 Seller's Inventory #: Category: Military Pistols - German - Walther Pistols. If you are a serious Walther collector this is a gun that you will want to have in your collection. This is the one million and first serial numbered Walther PPK Pistol. The gun is in about 95% condition but the serial number is 1000001 and that is something that is too neat not to own. I own a Walther.380 stainless PPK/S serial number 3414AAA pictured in these attached photo’s. From the production history and markings the pistol appears produced under the first year of S&W licensing but before S&W put its own serial numbers on the Walther licensed PPK’s made.

See the Bottom of the attached page(Page 16).Your Pistol should have on the left side behind trigger guard the Eagle over 359 military acceptance stamp and on the right side under the ejection point the eagle over N Proof Mark(See page 112).

I realize there is an element of subjectivity to this but you appear to be very knowledgeable about these pistols (about which i have admitted i know very little).What resources (internet and books) are out there that might help me improve my knowledge of these pistols since i am about to be the owner of one?Regards and many thanks again, Crow.

If all you have is just the regular Cown N mark, then most likely you have a pistol made for commercial sales. The next question is how it got to US.I know a little bit about Walther PP because I own three that were made after WW Two by Manuhrin, France under license from Walther. So I know basics, but not an expert.Your best bet is take some photographs and start your own thread. Maybe others will recognize something that you do not know is important. For everybody's information, the post-WW2 serial #s can be found in Dieter Marschall's book on Walthers.
I have one more question though: Being new to Walthers i went ahead and bought a magazine for the.380 Walther i bought but have yet to receive. When i got it i noticed it has a ridge on the left side, while other magazines i see are smooth on both sides. None of the books i have discuss the difference in magazines, nor mention the ridge (elevation) on the side. Can someone explain to me if this means the magazine is for a post WW2 Walther.380, PP or PPK perhaps? There is no doubt that it is for a Walther PP or PPK.
Your help will be appreciated as always. For everybody's information, the post-WW2 serial #s can be found in Dieter Marschall's book on Walthers.

Like this one? Lotuss, just wondering if you ever found out any info about your pp with a 5 digit SN?
I also have one with 5 digits and the letter 'a'. Cant find info about it anywhere. Thanks.The letter 'A' after the five-digit serial # means that it is a.380 caliber made in France betwee 1954 and 1985. The numbers assigned to the French Co. (Manurhin) were 12003A-78148A. You should be able to place your pistol in this range and determine the approximate date of manufacture. My information comes from Dieter Marschall, Walther Pistols, page 28.Crow.
Hello Larvic. If you check out P38.com you'll probably find the date of production. The Crown over N means commercial.
The military ones have the Waffen proofs? Genymotion mac install. The tiny eagle markings.The PPK/s has the PP sized frame and the PPK slide. These were made due to import regulations. Hope this helps.All WWII PPKs were marked with the Crown over N (C/N) or the Eagle over N (E/N) - (depending on the date produced - roughly speaking pre 1940 and post 1940). Walther was a commercial firm and subject to the German proof laws.German military (Army and Luftwaffe) ones were 'also' marked with E/WaA 359 or E/359.
The ones that went to the SS/RSHA had the required C/N or E/N plus the additional SS/RSHA identifying factors. And what difference: Walther PPK and Walther PPK-S?Thanks,The Walther PPK is the smaller version of the Walther PP.
Walther Ppk Serial Number Database
PP stands for 'polizi pistol' and PPK 'polizi pistol kriminal' (My German sucks!) The PP was for use by the uniformed officer and PPK was for use by dectives who required a smaller pistol. The PPK's frame is smaller and the barrel length shorter, making is a smaller pistol.Back when the 1968 Gun Contol Act was passed, a point system was established to determine if a pistol could be imported into the US. The points were based upon the size of the frames and length of the barrels. It turns out the original PPK didn't have points to be imported but the PP did qualify. So to make a smaller pistol, the importers took the slide from the PPK and put it on the PP frame and this pistol had enough points to be imported. So the PPK/S was born.
The 'S' stood for Special.

Walther PPK that is NSKK marked with original holster
This is an exceptional example of an all original Nazi NSKK Walther PP pistol rig. These pistols were issued to officers in the National Sozialistisches Kraftfahr Korps (National Socialist Transport Corps), and based on the serial number listings in the book “Walther Models PP and PPK 1929 – 1945” (Blue cover) by James L. Rankin, this pistol falls into the correct serial number range for that model. The left side of the slide has the standard factory markings of: “Walther” inside a banner followed by the two-line address and caliber markings/”Mod.PP” followed by the slightly larger “NSKK” inside a banner over the Nazi eagle holding a swastika. The matching last three digits of the serial number is correctly scribed inside the slide. The chamber, muzzle and slide are correctly marked with “Crown/ N” proofs. It is fitted with the original two-piece black plastic, checkered grips with Walther banners on the top. It is complete with one original Walther/PP marked magazine with the black plastic finger base plate. This excellent pistol is complete with an exceptional, Nazi issue, black leather, “N.S.K.K.” marked holster. The holster is correctly stamped with a large and deeply struck “N.S.K.K./Nazi Eagle” at the top of the holster flap with the correct “D.R.G.M./Cross Rifles/Akah” markings for Albrecht Kind. This is a very rare holster in this condition.

Walther PPK Party Leader Semi-Automatic Pistol Rig
This is an early production Walther Party Leader Model PPK pistol rig. This PPK pistol rig has the Political Leader Party grips, an original Party Leader brown leather holster and brown leather belt. These PPKs fitted with the Party Leader type grips were officially known as the “Honor Weapon of the Political Leaders” as they were usually presented to high ranking Nazi officers for meritorious service to the Party. NSDAP Party Leader grips are found on Walther PPKs in two serial number ranges; 850,000 to 935,000 and again in the “174,000K to 234,965K” range. Which indicates that this example was produced early on in the second serial number block. The grips themselves are molded from a mottled-brown plastic material that has the distinctive large Nazi Eagle clutching a Swastika encircled by a wreath at the top on both sides with the balance of the grip having impressed checkering. This example has the standard two-line factory markings of the Walther Banner, factory legend, caliber and model designation. The pistol is a pre-war commercial model with the “Crown/N” proofmarks on the slide, chamber area and front end of the barrel. The pistol has a 60 degree safety lever, cartridge indicator pin and lanyard loop on the bottom of the frame. The serial number is marked on the right side of the frame with the last three digits (657) correctly scratched inside the slide. It comes with two original Walther marked blued magazines, one with a matching mottled brown plastic extended finger rest and the other a flat base. As noted, this scarce pistol comes with an original Party Leader brown leather holster that is stamped with the large Nazi Eagle on the front flap. The lower front flap is stamped, “D.R.G.M./Crossed Rifles/Akah”. It also comes with a unmarked brown Party Leader type leather dress belt.
Walther PPK Condition Statement:
Very fine with 98% of the blue finish still remaining overall with blue loss on the front edges of the slide. The grips are in fine condition with some slight warpage on the top and lower front edges. There is a minor scratch on the upper right side of the grip. The holster is in good condition with a dark brown leather surface with a faint Nazi Eagle on the front flat with clear distinct maker’s marks on the lower front flap. The stitching is tight. There is some age cracking and slightly heavier scuffing of the leather on the lower front edge of the magazine pouch. The belt is in very fine condition. A very nice looking and highly desirable early Nazi Party Leader Walther PPK rig.
