This is a very fine Walther PPK pistol with the high desirable/scarce "RZM" markings on the slide. The Reichs Zeugmeisterei (RZM) served as the quartermasters office of the National Socialists party (NSDAP) and later became the chief approving authority on some types of military weapons, clothing, textiles and some raw materials for the Third Reich. The "RZM" markings on Walther pistols were used on a periodic basis and are found in several serial numbers ranges with the earliest block of numbers being approximately 803,638-844,468, with this example being right in the middle of that block. It has the standard Walther factory slide markings on the left side followed by the circled "RZM" markings. The right side of the pistol has the early "Crown/N" commercial proofs on the barrel, chamber area and slide. The inside of the slide is correctly numbered "477" to match the frame. It has the 90 degree safety and checkered streaked brown plastic with the "WALTHER" inside a banner on each side of the grip. This pistol is fitted with a standard blued Walther marked magazine with the very scarce large brown plastic finger rest base plate. It is accompanied by an original World War II, unmarked German Walther PPK leather holster.

Excellent with 90% of the original blue finish overall with edge and high spot wear overall. The grips are also very fine with a nice color overall with clear sharp checkering and markings. The base of the magazine shows considerable chipping around the upper rear edge of the base, which was a common problem with these larger bases. Mechanically excellent. The holster is in fine condition with a nice light brown color overall with tight stitching, with the belt loop on the back being a correctly sewn field replacement.
