Etienne, in France, Under Walther’s License Model: PPK/S Serial Number: 252302S Year of Manufacture: 1970’s to 1980’s Caliber:.380 ACP Action Type: Double Action / Semi Action, Semi-Automatic, Removable Magazine Fed Pistol with Decocker. This is an example of a prewar Walther commercial PPK pistol with two matching serial numbered magazines that was issued to the SS (Reichssicherheitshauptamt). This is a late variation that still retains the higher polish blue finish, 'K' suffix on the serial number with two factory numbered (on the spine) magazines. The left side of the slide is marked with the Walther banner followed by the. Not only that, but their serial ranges overlap between the ppk and ppk s, so that doesn't help. Still, with that low number 1979ish is a good guess. I had one just like that and I wanted SO badly to like it, but, alas mine was a jam-o- matic with all but a handful of ammo brands and it had to go.

This TALO exclusive First Edition model was produced to commemorate the return of the PPK family, and the beginning of Walther’s US-based manufacturing. The PPK/S First Edition features a stainless-steel finish matched with elegant cocobolo wood grips and chambered in .380 ACP. The slide is marked “First Edition” on the right side under the ejection port.
At the time of its invention over 80 years ago, the PPK inspired an entirely new category in the firearm industry, now widely known as the concealed carry pistol.
An evolution of the classic PPK, the PPK/S maintains the timeless features, essence and the elegance of the original with an additional extended grip allowing for added capacity and improved ergonomics. Few guns have withstood the test of time like the brilliantly designed PPK. To this day, the PPK is still one of the most sought after concealed carry pistols on the market. This demand serves as a testament to Walther’s long-enduring legacy of excellence and unparalleled performance. The timeless design and superior engineering make the PPK a true legend amongst firearms.
“We are very excited about the release of the First Edition PPK/S. To build upon the history of this timeless pistol and offer a collector’s item was a fun project.

Our Assessment: This is a West German manufactured Walther PPK chambered for .380 ACP (9mm short/kurz). Walther’s PP series has had an interesting and circuitous production history, being made in Germany, France, America, and back to Germany. This pistol is a 1967 vintage West German made PPK in Excellent condition. It was made just before the United States import regulations restricted the PPK, leading to the introduction of the import-friendly PPK/s. The pistol shows light operational and handling wear, the bore is bright with sharp rifling and no erosion. If you want a small pistol for concealed carry or if you have small hands that won’t fit around a grip with a double stack magazine, this is a quality pistol that is great for concealed carry. It’s also in good enough condition that it would make a nice addition for a Walther collector who would like a post-war German made PPK, especially with its original box. Please see our photos and good luck!
