Me too... or at least used to.
Ron, I owned and carried one of these in my pants pockets when stationed for a year in east Africa back in 1972. It was considered Ethiopia then, but that area (Asmara) is now rightly considered Eritrea...
Anyway... I loved that gun, but when it came time to come home, the ATF said that to import it, it would have to have a target trigger, target grips and adjustable target sights... those were the regulations back then... and if I had to do that to that neat little Walther, I would rather it stay where it could be enjoyed as is... So I sold it before I came back stateside.
I now own a PPK/S nickle finish in .22 caliber that takes it's place on those hot days when a carry gun would be too visible to the nervous folks... fits easily in a back pocket of a pair of jeans. With .22 Stingers, it is more than just a small comfort...
Congrats on yours... it looks like a nice one.
