Quoting Jim from way back at Page 1 or 2.
I have three German pistols that I have collected over the years that might be interesting to see, ......The one on the right bottom is a Walther PP, that was manufactored in about 1938.
I just have to show off my Walther PP, a Vet bring-back. My Dad brought home a German P08 Luger, a Walther PP(civilian) and a M-40 Police Helmet.
Walther PP is in 9mm with a Clip Release on the bottom rear of the grip, similar to a P-38, and a clip extension for a finger rest. The way I understand it is that PP is a civilian purchase--it has the WALTHER name in a scroll. Many of these guns were bought through private purchase for use by officers and police.
The background is a fake German uniform grey with the vintage Rank Insignia collar tabs and epaulets of an NCO in rural military Police. Also includes the aluminum Belt Buckle and visor Cap Eagle worn on uniforms of Military Police.
I didn't really collect all of this but my buddy knew I was interested in the military police background of my Dad's German helmet so he gave these items to me. I have the items displayed in my office but without the pistol.
