Default "Not a real Walther"

I thought some of you may get a chuckle out of this... I know I'm happy. I haven't been in a position to be spending money on guns lately, but couldn't walk away from this one.

Stopped at a "buy and sell" 2nd hand place with a friend yesterday. They had a few junk guns at premium prices. I looked in the pistol case, and down on the bottom shelf I saw this. It appears nearly unfired, probably a house gun. Original pebble grain vinyl box and all paper work in tact.

The price was $329.00. I asked why so cheap? The guy said,

"It's not a real Walther PPK. Just some kind of knock-off. We have an appraiser that told us that a real Walther should have an antler on it."

I've been looking for one at a decent price for a carry gun. Think I found it...

I'm also thinking of sending their appraiser a love letter.
