I, too, like some Walther pistols. Unfortunately, I can’t help with value though. I have one of each…..PPK, PP, and a PPK/S. Late 70’s Walther PPK/S Pistol With Rare Aftermarket MMC (Miniature Machine Company) sights. This pistol was made by Manurhin and imported by Interarms. Here is my PPK/S:

My first Walther was my Manurhin PP in .22 caliber. I picked it up because I thought the condition was awesome, and I hadn’t seen many with the extended box magazines. This pistol was tested on 11/18/1963. Here is my PP:

I have saved my best Walther for last! It is a PPK in the original caliber of 7.65mm. It is a very, very early one. Some charts show it as a 1930 and some 1931. The serial number is 760198. It is in superb condition. It has all the early characteristics including: reversed serial number, 90 degree safety, covered two-piece firing pin, a blued ejection port, an integral rear sight, bright silver firing pin box, one piece brown grips with left to right grip screw (rare), and a first variation hammer without the groove.

I have a quote from Absent Comrade “Absalom” of this forum about my gun that I found extremely interesting, “Using Dieter H. Marschall’s classification the serial 760,198 would make it indeed a very early 2nd Variation, a first-year specimen from the second half of 1931. Marschall sees this variation, starting just before your serial around 760,000, as the actual beginning of PPK series production, as prior to that there was constant tinkering with the design.” Here is my PPK:
