I have the opportunity to buy this in private sale but am unfamiliar with brand. Left side reads PK 22 "made in usa". Ejection side reads "made in germany" NKC-MO . Appears to be in good shape w/approx 4' barrel. Seller wants $175 (no paperwork). What do the experts think? Thanks for your reply in advance.

Erma and American Arms both went out of business in the 90's. The price is OK, as long as you understand you have a orphan on your hands. If anything breaks or you want extra magazines you might have a tough time obtaining them. I wouldn't buy it unless you have a opportunity to test fire it, with all available magazines to make sure it's functional.
the american arms pk series were manufactured into the early 1990's after iver johnson discontinued the TP22 in about 1988. by the mid 1990's american arms pk series was discontinued. most likely because that is about the time erma went under. about the same time erma and H&R 1871/NEF signed an agreement for H&R 1871 to market a small frame 38 special revolver manufactured by erma but that never came to pass because of erma's money problems.
