French manufacture and proofing define this PPK/S. St-Étienne French proof marks are present, and the slide bears the "MANURHIN INTERNATIONAL - ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA" import mark, anchoring its origin and U.S. import history from the 1980s.
The pistol uses a DA/SA blowback action with a slide-mounted safety/decocker and a ring hammer. Fixed iron sights (front blade, rear notch), rear slide serrations, and a serrated anti-glare top rib round out the functional sighting and handling features.
Construction is all steel with a blued finish on the frame, slide, and receiver. The fixed steel barrel measures approximately 3.3 inches, and capacity is 7+1 in .380 ACP. Grips are black checkered plastic with Manurhin logos, and a lanyard ring is fitted at the rear of the frame.
