Built during WWII in 1941, this PPK is a wartime commercial pistol made in Germany. It has no import marks and no post-war proof or inspection stamps visible, aligning it with pre-1945 commercial distribution.
The slide shows longitudinal anti-glare checkering along the top, a hallmark pre-war Walther feature, along with vertical rear serrations, a ringed muzzle contour, and the loaded-chamber indicator pin. Fixed iron sights are integral, with a front blade and rear notch.
Mechanically, it uses a DA/SA, blowback-operated system with a fixed barrel. Controls include a slide-mounted safety/decocker and a magazine release, paired with a spurred external hammer for manual manipulation.
Compact in size with a 3.3-inch fixed barrel, it is chambered in .32 ACP (7.65 mm Browning) with a 7+1 capacity. The included Walther factory PPK 7.65 m/m flat-base magazine is period-correct for this model and era.
