Walther PPK/S .380 ACP West German Compact DA/SA Pistol – 3.3" Fixed Barrel, Blued, Interarms Import
This first-generation Ulm-produced PPK/S represents the earliest West German response to the 1968 U.S. import rules. Built between 1969 and 1978 and imported by Interarms, it blends the classic PP frame with the PPK slide to earn the required import points. Collectors value these pistols for their German fit and finish, matching serial numbers, and distinctive proof marks. Chambered in .380 ACP, this compact blowback design offers the proven accuracy of a fixed, hard-chromed barrel inside a fully blued carbon-steel frame and slide.

Overall Condition: Fair – Shows extensive signs of prior use and handling.

Specific Condition Notes: The slide and barrel display visible handling wear and scattered pitting, yet the pistol remains mechanically sound and fully functional.
What’s Included

Made in West Germany and carrying matching serial numbers on the frame and slide, this pistol bears the German eagle/N nitro proof and Ulm antler proof alongside the INTERARMS Alexandria VA import stamp. Those markings confirm its provenance and appeal to collectors seeking authentic West German production.
The fixed 3.3" hard-chromed barrel is integral to the blowback frame, a design that maximizes rigidity for consistent accuracy. A blued carbon-steel slide with rear vertical serrations and an integral top rib complements the blued frame while keeping the profile slim and snag-resistant.
Operation is double-action/single-action with a smooth push-button magazine release. Safety features include a slide-mounted safety/decocker and a firing-pin block, providing secure carry options without compromising quick first-shot readiness.
Black checkered polymer grips bearing the Walther banner offer a secure hold, and the compact PP-length frame retains a lanyard ring for classic styling. Fixed iron sights—white-dot ramp front and drift-adjustable notch rear—deliver a clear sight picture suited to defensive distances.
