Walther PPK 7.65 mm
« on: January 09, 2017, 06:55:04 AM »
Are there any Walther firearm experts out there, or have some knowledge on these guns?
I inherited this Walther from my dad who passed some time ago.
I have done some reading online  and know that this model and caliber was used in some of the James Bond movies.
Yesterday, I was doing some research, and trying to determine the actual build date. Some of the proof symbols on the gun are pointing to a older gun.
On the right side of the barrel, under the injector slide, in front of the injector port there is a stamped eagle with a letter N underneath. On the left side behind the trigger on the frame there is another eagle proof stamp with the letters and numbers WaA359
Black plastic grips with serial #381xxxK.
Gun is in never fired, never carried condition. I have never shot the gun myself and never remember my dad ever talking about it.
Any knowledge appreciated.

Those are pretty cool.
Not much help other than made for the army during WWII
