edited February 2009 in Ask the Experts
Have owned these for years. No idea value. Both appear to be new in the box. First one is #67476, .380, extra mag and cleaning rod. Wrapped in original paper. Second is #133303, .22lr, extra mag, no cleaning rod. Has what appears to be factory adj rear site. Both guns are in proper factory boxes. Need to sell them. Any help on price and method to sell would be appreciated. Thinking about heading to a local gun show tomorrow. Thanks much.

    Guess I REALLY don't know much.....
    On closer inspection, the .380 is actually a PP, not a PPK/S.
    Further, it has no interarms markings.

    The .22 is a PPK/S and does have interarms markings.

    Both imported from Germany.

    Thanks for any help.

    Pictures would help as I am sure someone will advise.

    Best bet is to review the completed auctions for these two Walthers. That will show what has been paid. The 22LR will bring a premium as there were not as many imported.

    I've never seen a PPK/S with an adjustable sights. I believe there once was a PP variant with a longer barrel called the Sport that had adjustable sights.

    Your PP in .380 with no import marks is pretty valuable. These go for as much as $800. Newer guns go for around $1100. That is the range your in. What a buyer is willing to pay is the price, but expect no less than $800.

    The Interarms PPK/S in .22lr is a pretty sought after pistol. In good condition you should get around $700, maybe more if you come across a drooler that really wants it. These are not made anymore.

    The adjustable rear sight is interesting, can you post a picture?

    Well, here's what happened.

    Armed (no pun intended) with the info you guys provided, I headed off to the local (actually state-wide) gun show. Decided my price was $1600, as I really needed to sell. Barely got in the door when I was approached. As soon as I opened the boxes, I had four guys standing in line to buy. Got my price and went home.

    I can't thank you gentlemen enough for helping me out. Maybe some day I'll be able to return the favor for someone. Thanks again for your kindness.

    Darn, my curiousity was picqued and I really hoped we'd see pictures of the adjustable sights, but I'm glad you got what you wanted for them.

    MMC made some low profile sights for Walthers in the 70's, but I'm not sure if you had to replace the front sight or not.
