Description

This Walther Modell PPK/S is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .9mm kurz/.380 ACP, manufactured under license by Smith & Wesson in Houlton, Maine. The firearm features a distinctive two-tone aesthetic with a stainless steel slide and a black blued frame, complemented by smooth, contoured wood grips. The 3.35-inch barrel is fixed within the frame, and the slide is equipped with fixed sights featuring red aiming accents. Key markings include the Walther banner and “UNDER LICENSE OF / Carl Walther Waffenfabrik Ulm/Do. / Modell PPK/S Cal.9mm kurz/.380ACP” on the left side of the slide. The right side is marked with the Walther banner and “SMITH & WESSON / HOULTON, ME USA”. The barrel chamber, visible through the ejection port, is stamped “.380ACP”. The frame is designated “PPK/S-1” and bears the serial number 1536BAE. This lot includes the original serialized black plastic Walther-branded hard case, an owner’s manual for a Walther PPK/S .22 L.R., and two stainless steel magazines fitted with black polymer floor plates. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The pistol is in good overall condition. The stainless steel slide shows a clean satin finish with minimal handling marks. The blued frame retains a high percentage of its finish, with minor holster wear noted on the front of the trigger guard and the backstrap. The wood grips are well-preserved with an attractive grain and no significant chips or cracks. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly, and the safety/decocker lever operates as intended. The magazines and case show minor external scuffing consistent with careful use.
