I’ve been in the market for a good condition PPK for a while now. I wanted something before S&W and I’m not a fan of stainless nor did I want a PPK/S.

What I stumbled upon is a once in a lifetime find. I found, not one, but two, blued, unfired Interarms PPK’s complete with boxes, paperwork, etc.

The original owner purchased them and put them in his safe over 30 years ago without ever firing them.

One of the serial numbers is K0022xx and the other is K0095xx.

The later serial has a test target dated mid 1987, the earlier doesn’t have the test target unfortunately, so I’m unsure of the date of manufacture on it.

The earlier has the plastic over cardboard case and the later has the plastic clamshell case. Both have the original magazines with them.

I am beyond excited to finally have one of my “dream” guns and join the PPK owner club!

The composition of the grips are such that with age they get very brittle. The cost of original grips now are at about $150-300!

Get replicas - or originals in plastic (brown or black).
See my picture of Roger Moore. Around 45 bucks per set. They are perfectly compatible as long as it's not S&W

You can use the one set you buy to shoot any of your handguns; just swap as needed and go.

ETA: here
