Walther PPK 7.65

Member Posts: 14 ✭✭
Have a chance to purchase a Walther ppk 7.65mm ww2 that was taken off a German soldier with original leather holster and 2 clips. One of the clips has the a heel magazine and the gun does have the lanyard. Only problem is the safety is missing, other then that in good condition. What I need to know is it worth $200.00? Please let me know what you all think. Still can get the gun. If you want email me at grizz-wolf@mchsi.com. Thank you in advance.

anyway, original PPK in operable condition is definately worth 200 buck!
JMHO

sorry bout that, but the title says 7.62 (and the post says 7.65).
7.65=32acp

Had a typo moment.
I paid $100 bucks for my PP, taken off a German officer, brought home, put in it's holster, put away and left for decades. It had some knarly pitting where it touched leather but I can still get $200 for it. It's actually one of my best shooters. Because of the way it was acquired, then I bought it privately, it's annonamous. There's no record of me having it, and most likely no record of it at all.
7.65mm also known as .32acp. I have no idea what it would cost to fix the safety. Price of the part plus labor. I wouldn't think over $100, maybe less, but I'd definitely buy it. Good luck.
You can always get a new safety.
Take the gun and run. Don't quibble over trivia. It's a steal.

Any idea where I could find a safety for the gun?

Try searching the auction side, or Numrich.
And yes that is a steal!
BTW, welcome to the forum.[;)]
the current PPK's have an internal striker safety AND a trigger safety. I dont know about the older ones, but I'm guessing they didnt have the striker safety.
so what part are you actually missing?
any chance you could post a pic of the gun?

I'd think,... "HELL YEAH"! Look for German/Nazi stampings on the slide. There may be matching numbers stamped on the holster to prove it's the original. I own a pre WWII Walther PP(same design and caliber, longer barrel and grip) that came with an "original" holster. Months later a dealer asked me,when I was asking about the values, "How do I know it's original?". Don't assume if there's no proof. My SWAG(scientfic wild * guess)would be at least $500, in fair condition with the saftey fixed. I could be low and if it's in VG or better it might be $1000 or more.

Just bought the gun and holster. The holster has Akah D.R.G.M logo on it abd the gun has the crown on the barrel and slide. Just thought I would let you know. Thank again.
