1944 RSHA 5th Variation PPK.

I was lucky to find this PPK in a LGS awhile ago. He got it from the grandaughter of the vet who captured it when he passed away. It has been in his closet drawer since WWII.

It is in the range in Steven Stepan's black book, I have an autographed & numbered copy.

I have a 1944 "commercial", but it's a PP. Same "plum" frame etc. I often wonder if this was a SS contract too like yours.

There are PP's in the book. They are fewer in number than the PPK's, so if you have one, .

Very Nice! What is an "LGS"? Guessing "large garage sale?"

Local gun store! I haven't found too many guns around here in garage sales, but I have heard of some once in a while!

AirCommando,

Very nice ppk. Is the mag numbered? I have a SS pp early high polish serial 981173 with a matching spine numbered finger grip mag and another flat bottom spine numbered SS mag that is close but not matching and an AKAH black PP holster with the pp ink stamp still visible. I too have both the red book and black book. I'll work on posting photos. Your pistol is one of the later war time ppk's very nice.
