The Walther PP (Polizeipistole, or police pistol) series pistols are blowback-operated semi-automatic pistols, developed by the German arms manufacturer Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt features an exposed hammer, a traditional double-action trigger mechanism, a single-column magazine, and a fixed barrel that also acts as the guide rod for the recoil spring. The series includes the Walther PP, PPK, PPK\/S, and PPK\/E models. The Walther TPH pocket pistol is a smaller caliber pistol introduced in 1971 identical in handling and operation to the PPK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious PP series are manufactured in Germany, France and the United States. In the past, the PPK version has been manufactured by Walther in its own factory in Germany, as well as under licenses by Manurhin in France; Interarms in Virginia and by Smith \u0026amp; Wesson in Maine. Since 2018, PPK and PPK\/S models have been built at the factory of US-based subsidiary Walther Arms, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PP and the PPK were among the world's first successful double action semi-automatic pistols. They are still manufactured by Walther and have been widely copied. The design inspired other pistols, among them the Soviet Makarov, the Hungarian FEG PA-63, the Polish P-64, the American Accu-Tek AT-380 II, and the Argentinian Bersa Thunder 380. The PP and PPK were both popular with European police and civilians for being reliable and concealable. During World War II, they were issued to the German military (officers), including the Luftwaffe, as well as the Ordnungspolizei.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brown leather holster is in very nice, serviceable condition. Almost all of the original finish is present but does show minor wear and crazing. The leather securing strap and retainer are both present and in lovely condition. This example is not the breakaway style, and the rivet for the securing strap is actually stylized with a maker’s name in the center, a good research project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an extremely fine holster that is more than ready to be paired with a WWII era Walther PPK!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes ready for display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45370918699077,"sku":"ONSV23NCN248","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV23NCN248__01.jpg?v=1784298244","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-era-unmarked-brown-leather-holster-for-the-walther-ppk-pistol-1","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
