Item Description
Bryant Ridge Auction Company is pleased to present this WWII era German made pistol today for a penny start auction; this is the Walther PP!
This particular example stands out for its lack of distinguishing features, except for two serial numbers that do not match each other and the letters "ac." There are no other markings or identifying characteristics visible. This makes the item quite unusual and potentially difficult to trace or authenticate.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Walther PP (German: Polizeipistole, or police pistol) series pistols are blowback-operated semi-automatic pistols developed by the German arms manufacturer Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen. The original PP was released in 1929. It was designed for police use and was used by police forces in Europe in the 1930s and later. The semi-automatic pistol operated using a simple blowback action. The PP was designed with several innovative safety features, including an automatic hammer block, a combination safety/decocker, and a loaded chamber indicator.
All members of the PP series share a standard takedown procedure. The trigger guard is hinged; by pulling the trigger guard downwards, the slide can be drawn backward past the typical stopping point, lifted clear of the slide rail, and then guided back forward to clear the barrel. With the slide removed, the blowback spring around the barrel is free and can also be removed. Walther's original factory was located in Zella-Mehlis in the state of Thuringia. As that part of Germany was occupied by the Soviet Union following World War II, Walther fled to West Germany, where they established a new factory in Ulm. For several years following the war, the Allied powers forbade any manufacture of weapons in Germany. As a result, in 1952, Walther licensed production of the PP series pistols to a French company, Manufacture de Machines du Haut-Rhin, also known as Manurhin.
