"Not a real Walther"

[alvin]

The "antler" stamp is interesting. I heard it's Ulm Proof House Mark (?)

I had an Interarms P1 made in West Germany, which I play with some shooting fun. Yeserday, I just noticed there is an antler on the left side of the trigger guard.

Could it be possible that postwar PPK made in West Germany does have that antler stamp, but PPK made in USA does not? So from that sense, the appraiser made his conclusion?

P.S. Very early C96 (such as CH, LRH, early Small Ring) also have a similar stamp on the right side of the chamber, different style. I heard that's "Oberndorf Proof House Mark", and it always shows "halo". I heard the same proof house is now located in Ulm.
