I just got (again) a huge obsession with PPK's. Just older Walther PPK's a-la James Bond.
Being in CA, I can't just get any of them; I have to go selectively for the ones made up to 1969 (i.e., at least 50 years old). So here's one example that I got. This one is from WWII but I have already changed its perfectly mint WWII grips to a later brown plastic (which is even more James Bond-ish) A couple of pics. This one's in .22LR WWII Walther PPK by SoloDallas, on Flickr Walther PPK by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

This (below) was in fact the very first PPK we see in any movie (replaced for action shots by a PP in that movie). Brown grips: From here |

Just got me my ideal PPK - after such a long wait (years).
This is an original, 1965 Walther PPK in .32ACP; the correct (original) caliber for James Bond's PPK and the original caliber it came out with initially, in the 1930's 1965 Walther PPK, .32ACP by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

Took another picture - better one, possibly - of my older, pre WWII Walther PPK in .22LR

Took pictures of my old lady myself; more of them, because I got a vintage slide that I like better to go on my 1939 frame
Vintage Walther PPK by SoloDallas, on Flickr Vintage Walther PPK by SoloDallas, on Flickr Vintage Walther PPK by SoloDallas, on Flickr It's just a vintage .22LR but boy, so beautiful and shoots simply amazingly well; no jams, digests any cheap .22LR that exists etc. |

Just for the lovers,
I salvaged this one: I have had it re-blued (frame and slide only). Possibly blood pitting (unknown), this is an original 1945 P38. Shoots great, bought it cheaply but it was really a disaster, finish wise. Some may say I destroyed (some of) the history, but the handgun looked really bad; not even sure it was that kind of history, might have been in the hands of some random bubba who had treated her unfairly. So she is back with style. 1945 AC Walther P38 by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

Also all matching including magazine. |

If I edited the post above it's more than likely because I suck at typing. If I didn't, I was either in too big of a hurry or just missed it.

I traded off a Norinco 1911 for this P99 & 200rds of ammo. It came with a spare extended magazine & hard case(for a Sig P225, the owner couldn’t find the Walther case). It already carries better than my Gen2 Glock 19 despite being heavier. |

There are no coincidences

So how is this brand name pronounced? Is the 'h' silent, or do you say it with the 'th' sound wal-ther like the word 'thorough'?

Picked this up yesterday. Still haven't shot it. Looking forward to putting a 509T on her and swapping out the sights. Probably going to put a TLR-7A on her as well.
