Overall Condition: This handgun retains about 72% of its metal finish. There is holster wear at the front of the slide and considerable thinning on the leading edges. The front strap shows finish loss and light erosion. There is a spot of discolored finish on the right side of the slide near the lower edge and on the left side of the slide as well. There are light nicks and scratches throughout. The sides of the frame and trigger guard show a faint plum hue. The action shows light operational wear. The screw head is lightly tool marked. The markings are legible. Overall, this pistol is in about Good-Very Good condition.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The double action trigger pull is a little stiff and the single action pull is crisp. This pistol has a decocker. We did not fire this handgun. As with all previously owned firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes with one 7-round magazine. A brown leather holster is also included showing moderate wear with some torn stitching along the flap.

Our Assessment: Walther’s original factory was located in a-Mehlis in the “Land” (state) of Thuringia. As that part of Germany was occupied by the Soviet Union following World War II, Walther fled to West Germany, where they established a new factory in Ulm. This is a .25 caliber Walther Model PPK made in 1932 at the factory in Thuringia. It is in Good-Very Good condition with roughly 72% original finish remaining. The bore is bright with well defined rifling. Walther’s are known for their reliability. That said, they are also collectible. This would be a great addition to a Walther collection.
