Walther PPk RMZ Marked

[paddywonka]

My local gunstore has been getting some firearms in that you don't usually see there. While putting an all matching 98k rifle on lay away, the owner was pricing a Walther PPK RMZ marked pistol. Have only seen these pistols on the internet or in books, but not at any of the shows I have ever attended in the last 15 years. Might have paid too much , but have gone home to read up on a gun I have seen, only to find it gone an hour later. Grips have no cracks. Serial #804148. Have not tore it down and cleaned it yet , but here are some photos for your veiwing. Came with two magazines, and holster. Local veteran selling off his bring home firearms at my local gun store. Owner said he also brought in a Luger and a Radom pistol, a few days earlier, that both sold in an hour. Any way here is a look. What do you think?

Hi Paddy,
nice looking RZM PPK. Without going into the historical background, your pistol looks very nice. The bluing loss on the right side of the slide is normal holster wear. The pitting hurts the value. Nice holster and magazine. If the slide matches ( and it should because this is the correct serial range) you did well if you paid under 2k. Without the slide pitting this would be closer to 3k....condition is everything. The slide serial number is pencil etched inside.
Cheers,
Jason L

Looks like an original RZM pistol should . 90 degree safety and l/s entry screw are typical of this s/n range pistol.

Just checked the inside of the slide. It is numbered with the last 3 digits of te serial number 148.

A nice RZM PPK with the serial number in the correct early contract range. I sold a 99% RZM 3 years ago for 2800.00. In this condition, I would say 1800-2000.
