SS Luger at Collectors Firearms

To my knowledge the only SS / RHSA firearms that have distinctive markings are the Walther PPK pistols that appear in a known serial number range, and that have serial numbers on their magazines as well as the muzzle area.

There is the 'K under' version which is SS/RHSA which is identified by the fact that the markings are 'K under"

K under - is where the serial number is on the slide and the 'K' is under the numbers instead of behind the numbers.

There is also the version that has the serial number stamped on the slide. These occur below approx serial no. 335xxx.

Before 335xxx (approx) Walther did not put the serial number on the outside of the slide on PPKs. After 335xxx approx, Walther put the serial number on the outside of the slide on all PPKs, but the SS/RSHA ones had the 'K' under the serial number.

After the 'K under' version, then one has to look for the numbered mag to determine if it is a SS/RSHA version.
