Here are a few photos of a muzzle numbered PPk. These have been generating some interest among the Walther collectors over the past year or so based on the research of John Pearson.
He has uncovered some pretty strong information that suggests that these were issued to the RSHA. To include the way that slide was numbered and the way that serial number was placed on the magazine.
After I bought this pistol I checked it against the serial numbers listed int "SS Walther PP/PPk 1939-1944" by Joachim Gortz and Dieter Marschall. The serial number of the gun and the serial number of the magazine (mismatched) are very close to those listed in the book.
