Question about Walther PP

As Tom states, it's more likely an obliterated Police property mark commonly found on the West German Police import guns from the 80s. The Russians would have put the X on the slide or next to the SN. I've never heard of or seen a Russian capture PP, although they possibly exist. The East Germans reworked and/or manufactured new PPs.

I think you would be much happier with a new PPK for carry, anyway. I love mine. Try to find an Interarms variation. I've heard that the S&W guns have problems, the extended tang is ugly and takes away from the compact concealability.
