    I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but one can see that the rear sight is a different colour to the rest of the frame/slide and with considerably less wear, suggesting a custom job.
    a reasonable rate of return

    After market for sure. And not a great job at that. there's something else wrong about that PPK, but I can't put my finger on it ?:)

    It may be the angle of the shot, but the proportions and shape look a little off maybe?
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    It may be my inexperience but the trigger guard also looks like it suffered the same fate as the rear sight.

    It looks like a dogs dinner, trigger guard looks like a replacement as does the trigger and barrel , it appears to be sticking out too far from the front of the slide, as for the milling on the frame :#

    This is a later Zella probably dating from around 1945 which has a slight variant on the safety catch assembly. The earlier Zella safety catch levers point to the E on the Walther banner where the later slides (this one) the lever points to the T on the Walther banner making this a second generation Zella. This is also the case on all of Bond's ULM PPK pistols. This is not a particularly noticeable feature however subconsciously the eye is drawn to it. I also believe this may have been put together from component parts. I can't tell from the photos but the grips do not look like a one piece unit. If it wasn't for the factory engraving I'd swear it was a Japanese MGC or similar replica -{

    Ppw3o6r, it is a 1945. Here's the link with 28 photos

    It turns out the seller is about a half an hour from me and he said I can make an appointment to check it out. But I'm not familiar with the dural and I prefer not to be had, lol.

    Asp9mm, could this be one of those anomalies or rare productions you've mentioned?

    That's not an example I would want in my collection.

    Dalton's pistol has a post - war rear sight. I think the "Zella" in LTK may have been in the Maurice Binder credits, but was not in the film proper. The handles on Dalton's PPK were by Sile who provided them to Walther for sale as OEM. Lot's of fake Dalton pistols out there, including one in the NRA Museum.

    Well the new magazine arrived from USA but as expected it was a newer style finger extension not the older one. Still one step closer

    Cheers :007)

    That pistol is looking like an excellent example. Top marks.

    That's the Smith and Wesson version. Earl's sell the Interarms and Walther variant you want, they aren't an older version. It's just the S&W that's different.

    My bad just noticed similar mags on the newer version of PPK on the Walther website that was all. Any way it's black and matches grips so will do for now. It's been a real pain in the butt getting any version mag sent to the UK especially from the US sites (UK sites did not stock then even this on bought via UK site came from US stock).

    Still is what it is

    Looks great!! Glad it all worked out -{

    So, I first it was the 1968 Walther PPK in 380, then the 1939 in 32, now finally, I got my hands on a Walther PPK from 1966 in 32acp without import markings!!! My grail gun has been achieved (aside from screen used of course)!! Serial #208XXX

    Beautiful score, Ray! Congrats!

    I'm sure you're already aware, and for the benefit of those who may not be, Earl's is a great source for German Walther parts:

    Thank you! I'm very excited. Earl's is fantastic, how he has so much of everything is a complete mystery that he is not willing to share, lol.

    What’s the difference the base material used I.e rubber vs something else.
    I was looking for the one of these for years ultimately picked up a de activated (or butchered) one with silencer

    Look like pretty accurate copies just like they have used in the later films.

    Cheers :007)
