What's Included
- Manurhin PP .32 ACP pistol
- One Walther PP 7.65mm factory 8-round steel magazine with finger-rest floorplate
Produced in the 1950s, this PP was made in France by Manurhin under exclusive Walther license, as indicated by the "LIC. EXCL. WALTHER" and "Made in France" rollmarks. French Saint-Étienne proofs appear at the ejection port, and the absence of a Walther Ulm antler/date code aligns with Manurhin-only proofing. An INT DIST INC., MIAMI FLA import stamp is present.
The pistol follows the classic Walther PP pattern with a DA/SA action, a slide-mounted safety/decocker with red indicator dot, and a left-side push-button magazine release. It uses the PP’s hinged trigger-guard takedown system and has a ring-style hammer.
Sights are fixed, with an integral front blade and a rear notch. The slide carries vertical rear serrations and an anti-glare checkered top rib for a refined sighting plane. Both the slide and frame are polished blued steel.
Chambered in .32 ACP (7.65mm Browning), the PP has an 8+1 capacity and an approximately 3.9-inch barrel. The included Walther-banner magazine is marked "PP 7.65mm" and features a finger-rest floorplate.
Grip panels are black checkered synthetic with Manurhin and Walther logos. As noted in the condition, these are replacement grips and exhibit a casting flaw on the left panel.
