No Proof Marks at all. Date is 863, I take that to be August 1963, stamped twice on Frame, and twice on Slide. It's a Walther Ulm gun. Why no Proof Marks?
My first thought would be the country it was sold to does not require any proofing. However that might just be too simple
I like the Walther PP family of pistols, I have ever since Connery was forced to take one to replace his Beretta. Though all of mine are either 380ACP or 22LR
I was actually shooting my newest PPK/s yesterday. I picked this one up last year specifically to use suppressed.
I had thought of having several of my 22 Walthers ghost threaded, but for what it would have cost to do that to two of my firearms I was able to buy the current PPK/s in nickel with some cash left over
Now here is part of my Walther family
Here is my fancy one
I had the engraving done a few yeas ago when I got an unexpected bonus check. I want to have a blue one done with some nice gold line work, I just do not have another unexpected bonus on the way. At least not that I knoe of
This might be my oldest one
It is in great shape. I have only shot it once myself
This is the one in the best condition
I found this in a small town Pawn Shop in the middle of Florida. The old coup-le that owned the shop were not computer savvy and their kids and grand kids had no interest in the Pawn business. So none of their stuff was on the internet. I got a smoking deal on this one and bought a S&W 18 also in the box (but not this clean)
As to the ugly ones and the most used ones and the other ons, I do not have those photographed.
I did recently acquire one of the DDR copies of the PPK chambered in 22LR. While not in perfect condition and refinished on Armoloy or some other electroless finish I purchased it quite cheap. The refinisher had lost one of the trigger bar pins and it was not functioning correctly. $11.87 shipped for the replacement parts and all is well
I had no idea these East German Walthers existed before finding this one.
Look it over carefully before you shoot it! Kyle
