Is that a Manurhin PP or just the grips???

I don't get where you getting at.

The PPK is as much the "real deal" as the PP. The PP came out in 1929 with uniformed police use in mind PP=Pistol Police. The PPK came out in 1931 with plainclothes detectives from Kripo in mind for better concealed carry. PPK = Pistol Police Kriminal. Kriminal Police better known as Kripo was the investigating branch of police, same thing as a Police Detective.
