SS Walter PPK For Review

[pors12]

What is the serial #? Why would this PPK be SS associated?

Not only the RSHA was SS, and the topic here is SS related PPK .....

Of course.

But are you considering that 'DRP' = SS?

If so then then all Police as well as many other tangential orgs = SS.

DRP= Deutsches Reichs Post perhaps associated with SS-Postschutz? Very tenuous IMO.

First we saw a commercial PPK alleged to have been captured and returned with a nice Waffen SS tunic and therefore called an SS Walther PPK. The PPK was a very nice commercial but there was no way to directly associate the pistol with the tunic except by oral history. The two fine RSHA PPKs shown next with the late issue Theuermann PPK holster are definitively identified as SIPO/RSHA procured weapons, along with the holster. And finally we see a nice DRP PPK. But as I wrote, an SS association is tenuous and difficult if not impossible to prove.
