Our Assessment: This Walther PPK/S TALO Edition “Federal Eagle” is a limited-production collector’s pistol that elegantly blends German heritage with classic firearm design. One of only 400 units produced, this special edition features an engraved stainless steel slide adorned with intricate scrollwork and a striking gold inlaid Bundesadler (Federal Eagle), the national symbol of Germany. The engraving is both crisp and refined, showcasing the level of detail typical of TALO exclusive models. Complementing the slide are custom engraved wood grips, which enhance both the aesthetic appeal and the traditional styling of this iconic pistol.
Mechanically, the PPK/S remains true to its roots as one of the most recognizable compact pistols of the 20th century. Originally designed by Carl Walther GmbH and made famous in both military service and pop culture, most notably as James Bond’s sidearm, the PPK/S variant combines the frame of the PP with the shorter slide of the PPK to comply with U.S. import requirements. Chambered in .380 ACP (9mm Kurz), it features a double/single-action trigger, fixed barrel, and a 7-round magazine. The TALO “Federal Eagle” edition not only serves as a functional sidearm but also as a beautiful tribute to German craftsmanship and national symbolism, making it a standout piece for collectors and Walther enthusiasts alike.
