*HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT ENGRAVED WALTHER PPK IDENTIFIED TO SS GRUPPENFUHRER OTTO MULLER FORMER COMMANDANT OF AUSCHWITZ.

SN 410037K. Cal .32. 3.31″ bbl. Master engraved in the Germanic oak leaf with stippled background motif. Traditionally Walther banner and factory nomenclature with mod. PPK on left hand side. 60 degree safety with eagle / N proofs found on receiver, bbl, and slide. Silver plated over what amounts to full coverage embellishment with presentation banner on left slide crown “SS Gruppenfuhrer Otto Muller”. 1-pc Walther black hard plastic grips with additional marking on front strap of “O.684 / Schuabach”. With silver plated Walther banner mag with black plastic finger rest. Otto Muller’s torrid and controversial history in the German SS and his activities and involvement as Commandant of Auschwitz, the most infamous of all the concentration camps in Germany. Walther typically had these presentation or exhibition engraved guns embellished by outsourced or contract engravers. No two are found alike, however, finding a relatively late production example such as this is a great rarity. CONDITION: Extremely fine, with virtually all silver plate finish remaining, having tarnished to a somewhat mellow dull gray with darker tarnish in the depths of the dot-punch background. Slight thinning is evident at front right of slide, from possible holster carry, as well as thinning of finish on trigger and front strap. Grips remain excellent with slight shrinkage and appropriate warpage as all period Walther PPK grips should have. Bore is bright and shiny with sharp rifling. Mechanics are crisp. This extremely historic Walther remains in its prime condition. All visible numbers are matching. 52700-26 TDW (25,000-35,000) C&R – Lot 2028
