I just acquired a Walther PP from my dad and was hoping that someone could help give me some information about this handgun. Right now, all I know is that it is marked as a PP chambered in .32 ACP (7.65). It has numerous German eagles stamped on it, and a light Interarms, Alexandria, VA stamp on it over the serial number by the trigger. Here are some poor quality photos...
Is there any way to tell how old this is, and whether it was made in Germany and imported by Interarms or just made in the us by Interarms? Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thanks! Yes, I have a "66" there, and to the right are what appear to be some antlers and then a German eagle. 
Post-war PP and PPK's manufactured at Ulm by Walther for commercial sale carry the antler proof mark of the Ulm proof house. 
Post-war PP and PPK's carry the eagle over N, indicating that the gun was proofed for nitro or smokeless powder. |

Do you know of any online (or book) guide to these handguns? Maintenance, care, smithing, etc.? Here's a little something, but really... It's a $200 pistol... What would you wasnt to do to it anyway? http://www.whog.org/ppkmanual/PPK-S_manual.pdf Thanks. I just like to be educated on all the guns I own. |
