This lot contains a fourth variation Walther Police Pistol (PP) chambered in 32 ACP accepted by the German army during World War Two with spare magazine that is missing its rear sight. Markings include the Walther factory roll mark on the left of the slide accompanied by a waffenampt 359. The right side of the slide is marked with an eagle over N commercial proof and with the serial number (347950p). All visible parts (frame and slide) bear matching serial numbers. This serial number` falls into the range for the fourth production variant according to Jan C Still’s “Axis Postols”. The barrel is marked with an eagle over N commercial proof. The frame is marked on the left with a waffenampt 359 and on the right with the matching serial number (347950p). The pistol is in overall good condition retaining approximately 75% of its original blued finish with high edge wear and some minor scratches and scuffs on the slide. The bore is in very good condition rating approximately 8/10 retaining strong shine and rifling with signs of minor wear. The grips are in very good condition, free of cracks and wiggle with minor handling wear. The pistol appears to function correctly including the decocker and double action trigger pull but is incomplete, missing its rear sight. The Walther PP or Police Pistol was not the first commercially successful pistol for the Walther firm, but is likely what turned them into a global brand name. The PP was hugely popular among European police departments and in the personal defense market due to some significant mechanical innovations. These include the loaded chamber indicator, combination manual safety/decocker, and double action trigger where the norm to this point was a single action hammer fire or striker fire. This allowed shooters to more comfortably carry the semi-automatic pistol like a revolver, safety off relying on the weight of the double action pull to prevent accidental discharges with the additional benefit of lighter single action pulls on subsequent shots. During World War Two, the German army consumed approximately 84,000 Walther PPs with approximately 66,000 falling into the fourth variation according to Jan C Still’s “Axis Pistols”. These retained the Walther factory roll mark, later style waffenampt 359, and the duller wartime blue finish. The pistol is in overall nice and functional condition with a spare magazine retaining a desirable World War Two German pedigree albeit slightly incomplete without a rear sight.
