French made Walther PP
I just bought a Walther PP in 7.65 mm (.32 ACP). On the left side, it has the markings of Manurhin - Made in France. It also states 'MANUFACTURE DE MACHINES - Du Haut-rhin.
The importer is C.A.I. Georgia VT., and the s.n. is 865XX.
I have two questions regarding this pistol:
The first question is, what is the date, or approximate date of manufacture?
The second question regards ammo. In .32 ACP, I usually shoot Wolf fmj (brass), or Magtech fmj. I also just picked up some Blazer fmj. However, I also have some S&B fmj which is a bit hotter (according to the ballistic charts). I've therefore been reluctant to shoot it in any of my older .32 ACP pistols. Would the standard S&B fmj be too hot for this Walther?
Any info will be greatly appreciated.
THANKS!
