*◊ EXTRAORDINARY WALTHER MODEL PP LONG SLIDE WITH VERCHROMT FINISH AND SPECIAL FEATURES.

SN 779150. Cal. 7.65mm. One of a handful of Walther Model PP pistols with an extended 127mm bbl and matching long slide, finished in pearl chrome (Verchromt). Reportedly 10 of these pistols were made as a special order for Swiss target shooters, shipped to the gunsmith Glaser in Zurich, in the serial range 779,150-779,160. Slide markings are standard with the Walther banner, 2-line address and “Mod.PP”. On disassembly, the top of the chamber is marked “BOHLER STAHL ANTINIT” (Bohler stainless steel). Usual Crown/N on the right side of the chamber, right side of slide. Full SN is marked vertically on right frame ahead of grip. In addition to the long bbl and slide, other special features include a gold plated checkered trigger, hammer and safety lever and a finely checkered front and backstrap. This pistol was the first in that series and comes with a Swiss target competition “scrutineer’s seal” on the trigger guard. Correct wood checkered grips, each matched with a penciled “50” on the inner surface. Special order mag, also in Verchromt finish, with a metal finger extension. One of the scarcest and most visually impressive Walther Model PPs. PROVENANCE: Ex-Visser Collection; Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Superb orig finish, near 99% with scattered handling marks around the slide. Negligible wear on front and backstrap. Comparable condition gold plated trigger, hammer & safety lever, mag and grips. Mirror bore. Perfect manual mechanics. An extraordinary Walther PP, the first in a limited series and complete with a shooting competition seal. The very best, suited for the most advanced Walther collector. 4-52604 LMA22 (30,000-50,000) – Lot 1244
