8/12/19 - This is a fantastic, “as new in the box” Walther PPK from 1978 in desirable 9mm Kurz. The gun is mint, original, unfired, and complete with extra mag, manual, cleaning rod and a test target. After the passing of the 1968 Gun control act, the Walther PPK could no longer be imported into US, which resulted in the development of PPK/S model, which was basically a PPK slide mated to a PP frame. However, law enforcement and military personnel stationed in Europe could still bring a true Walther PPK into the country. No more than 1,500 of these rare guns were imported in the 1970s until BATF put a stop to that practice in 1979. Sharp markings throughout. Mint bore and grips. Beautiful high gloss blue. Date coded HK on the right side for 1978 year of production.
