The Story
Original Item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice German WWII Era brown leather breakaway holster for the Walther PP pistol. 7.65 / .32ACP caliber "pocket" pistols were standard pistols used by Ordnungspolizei (Order Police) units.
The design is similar to that of other unmarked PPK holsters, but with the securing strap attached under the flap to attach via a stud to on the breakaway portion of the holster. This example is marked under the flap hsu44 over Waffenamt stamp WaA170. This is the code for Gebr. Sparfeld, Leipzig O29, Sachsenstrasse 17-19. The 44 indicates a manufacture date of 1944, and we have confirmed that inspector 170 is correct for this maker.
Condition of the holster is very good with a lovely broken-in look. The leather is still supple, and has a great black color. The stitching is all intact and looks great. There are a few small scuffs but nothing major.
A great accessory to pair with a WWII German Walther PP Pistol. Ready to display!
The Walther PP (Polizeipistole, or police pistol) series pistols are blowback-operated semi-automatic pistols, developed by the German arms manufacturer Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen.
It features an exposed hammer, a traditional double-action trigger mechanism, a single-column magazine, and a fixed barrel that also acts as the guide rod for the recoil spring. The series includes the Walther PP, PPK, PPK/S, and PPK/E models. The Walther TPH pocket pistol is a smaller caliber pistol introduced in 1971 identical in handling and operation to the PPK.
Various PP series are manufactured in Germany, France and the United States. In the past, the PPK version has been manufactured by Walther in its own factory in Germany, as well as under licenses by Manurhin in France; Interarms in Virginia and by Smith & Wesson in Maine. Since 2018, PPK and PPK/S models have been built at the factory of US-based subsidiary Walther Arms, Inc.
The PP and the PPK were among the world's first successful double action semi-automatic pistols. They are still manufactured by Walther and have been widely copied. The design inspired other pistols, among them the Soviet Makarov, the Hungarian FEG PA-63, the Polish P-64, the American Accu-Tek AT-380 II, and the Argentinian Bersa Thunder 380. The PP and PPK were both popular with European police and civilians for being reliable and concealable. During World War II, they were issued to the German military (officers), including the Luftwaffe, as well as the Ordnungspolizei.
