Excellent Documented Walther PPK Semi-Automatic Pistol with Scarce "Party Leader" Grips, as Recorded in Rankin's Walther Volume II Book, with Party Leader Holster, Presentation Case, Extra Magazine and Flag

Officially known as the "Honor Weapon of the Political Leaders", the Party Leader PPK was a special sidearm awarded for meritorious service by leaders at various levels of the NSDAP to serve as both a badge of honor and a personal defense weapon. The critical distinction between the Party Leader PPK and the standard commercial model is the grip, which prominently bears the "reichsadler" emblem on either side in lieu of the traditional Walther banner, and a similarly decorated holster. This particular PPK is recorded by serial number on page 133 of "Walther Volume II" by James Rankin as a known Party Leader pistol. Fixed sights, with the standard markings on the left side of the slide, "crown/N" proofs on the slide, muzzle and chamber hood, and matching hand-scribed last three digits, "343" of the serial number on the inside of the matching slide. Fitted with a 60 degree safety, loaded chamber indicator, ring hammer, the aforementioned reichsadler grips, and a blued magazine with a matching colored extension base. Included with the pistol is an extra magazine with a flat steel base, an Albrecht Kind brown leather holster with reichsadler on the flap, brown leather case with spaces for the pistol, extra magazine, three rounds (included, inert and nickel plated) and a cleaning rod (included, blued), a copy of Walther Volume II, a small "party member" badge (unnumbered, marked "RZM/41" on the back), and a small German flag/banner (34 1/2 inches x 29 inches, printed black swastika on a stitched-on white circle, no visible maker's marks).

ConditionExcellent, with 95% original blue finish, showing minor spotting concentrated on the frontstrap, bright edge wear and mild handling marks. The grip is also excellent, with mild wear. Mechanically excellent. The case and holster are both fine with light stains on the interior lining and wear, and the flag shows stains and repairs.
