    I recently purchased a Walther PPK sereal Number 931XXX, with crown N proof and mottle brown wrap grip. I am interested in any information about this gun that someone might be able to offer, like date of manu. or whatever you might happen to know about it. Gun is in great shape, super shiny barrel, grips like new and all it's surface is intact cept minor holster wear at end of slide, a small spot of wear next to ejector port, and a couple of very small gentleman marks on slide. Gun has 2 Walther banner clips and a molded Walther dark brown holster with DRGM Cross Rifle Akah stamped on it. This gun does not have a loaded chamber indicator? Does anyone know anything about this gun?

    Thank you'
    Bill

    I have an old PPK with serial #426xxx K. It has eagle/n proof marks. It is about 85% blue, no rust and is with a leather holster with clip holder.
    1. When was this made and was it for the German army?
    2. What would be the range of values for it.

    Hey guys/gals, are there any Walther PPK 7.65 experts here that may know something about them or can lead me in the right direction? I have 3 Walthers that I want to list but do not know enough about them. I can send pictures if necessary. Thanks

    I own a nice Walther PPK and I am thinking about putting it up on for auction. It is an original from Zella-Mehlis and calibered in 7.65 (.32 acp). The gun is in very nice shape with flawless grips and original magazine.
    The gun has an eagle with a Shwastika under one leg and a 'C' under the other. This is located under the magazine release. Also on the slide and the barrel there is an Eagle with an N under it.
    Serial number is 309**7K
    I am interested in perhaps selling it, and was wondering what you believe this gun should go for to a collector. Should I place a reserve or do a true auction?

    I am not a gun person but have had one for many years and was wondering the worth. It is an all metal Walther PPk with the following imprints: 7.65m/mm, ModPPK, serial number 410564k, eagle imprints; one with a "c" under it. I also have the original leather holdster with Walther PPK stamped on the inside. Can anyone suggest a price for such a creature? Thanks for your help.

    The "Eagle C" is considered a police/paramilitary marking. It will increase the value of German WW II handguns.

    Unfortunately your definition of "nice shape" doesn't agree with the photo. It appears that there is a substantial amount of pitting and wear on the slide. This would have quite a negative affect on it's value to a collector. Cosmetics is a big factor as far as value is concerned, to the big buck guys. If the other side of the slide is in similar or worse condition, likely only a newby collector who wants a representative police piece in his collection would spring for it.
