Walther Ppk Serial Number KaiseĪlternatively, some people have reported having to restart Steam before the option appears. I don't have a ser# chart handy,it's some where in the stack. (A few thousand run of PPk's were ser#'d with so called 7 digit numbers (million series),no suffix letter. When ser#'s reached 1,000,000 for each Model,the numbers were started over again at the 100,000,plus the addition of a 'P' suffix on the PP and a 'K' suffix on the PPK. Serial numbering for the PP pistol started at #75,000 (1929) PPK production started shortly after that (maybe late 31 or '32) and used the same serial number range as the PP model.

Some of these are merely factory serial numbers and proof marks indicating that the gun has functioned safely when fired with high pressure cartridges. Model PP and PPK pistols are found with a variety of markings. The matching ser# marked on the right side of the slide was generally with-out the suffix. Can anyone help me help this member of the greatest generation? Thanks, John (Added 10/21/14) See pictures on post #4! Ser# 285,xxx on a Walther PPK (ZellaMellis) should have a 'K' suffix to the number on the frame. I understand Hoffschmidt's Know your Walther PPK book has a serial number chart, but I don't happen to have one. I'm estimating 1940, but I cannot glean much info of the internet. We've got a lot of knowledgeable folks on the board - can anyone tell me the year of manufacture? It has a small proof on the left side of the slide - not having a magnifying glass, I could not make it out clearly, but I recall no number under the eagle, so it's not a waffenamt. The slide reflects Zella Mehlis manufacture. The only magazine has a finger rest, also brown plastic. I don't have a photo, but it's in about 95% condition, high polish blue, with brown Walther banner plastic stocks. He brought back a number of war souvenirs, one of which was a Walther PPK. Just spent an interesting hour talking with a nice old WWII USAAF vet who flew P-47s in Italy and then France after D-day. The serial numbe on the frame (grip area) is the same 6 numbers and has an S or a 5 stamped at the end of the numbers but looks like it is not contiguous with the serial.perhaps done after mfg?

Produced from 1980 to 1999 by Interarms/EMCO in Alabama and from 2001 to 2012 under contract from Walther by Smith & Wesson, the PPK/PPKs has been out of production in the U.S. in no short part due to its use as the fictional British intelligence agent James Bond’s primary handgun, importation was stymied in 1968 due to the Gun Control Act, which led to the very slightly larger PPK/s (“Sport”) model, a gently stretched variant that held an extra round in the magazine and met the sporting purposes test for import, although production in Germany of even these models slowed over the years as it became preferable to just build the guns in the U.S. Originally introduced in Weimar-era Germany in 1930, the compact pistol was aimed at the European police market– PPK stands for Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell, roughly “police pistol, detective model” in German. The PPK, whose parent design dates to the era of the Great Depression, holds six-rounds in its magazine while the PPK/s, which is a half-inch higher due to a longer grip, holds seven-rounds.
