Default A pre-war Walther Mod. PP with a story...

This Walther Mod. PP SN 100012 P is a pre-war production PP that was used by the security police of the Nazi contractor Metall �¼ Eisen G.m.b.H. (Metal & Iron, Inc.) in Nuremburg, Germany. In late 1946 it was confiscated by an American Army officer from a thief caught stealing US Military equipment for sale on the black market. It turned out that the thief was the former head of security of the Metal & Iron Works, Inc. This pistol came with it's original matching holster serial numbered to the pistol and stamped with the company's name, plus the original spare magazine.

This is the lowest known Walther serial number in the "P" block series!

ENJOY... I love historic firearms that talk to you!
