Dating Walther PPK?

[Frentebro]

An ex-ABN friend has a commercial PPK he picked up during the war, serial 774947, 7.65 cal. high polish blue. Possible to know when it was made?

Thanks.

Dave,
I believe your friend's PPK was manufactured in 1932. Hope this helps.

Thanks Bob. It's a beauty! Mint except for a few surface rust spots.

Early PPK

Hi Dave:
Indeed your friends pistol was made in 1932 as I have one that is same as new in the box with all the goodies in it.You could call this a transitional variation.From sn 773000 to 777000 the hammer block assembly spring was held in place by a small disk with a screwdriver slit on it.After 777000 they went back to the disk that slipped sideways into a recess in the frame.A really nice collector.
