This is what I found:

In 1939, for his 50th birthday, Hitler had been given an ornate Walther PP, a presentation version of the police model, by Carl Walther himself–that pistol was found in Hitler’s apartment after the war. Nickel-finished with gold overlays and ivory handgrips, this gun was heavily decorated and engraved, with the silver initials “AH” in the handle. In the early 80’s, this gun was bought at auction by a private collector for over $100,000–today it would be worth at least ten times that.

thank you.

I'd pay $6 million for that piece.

Not sure how you would track down the owner. If you put the word out to High-end auctioneers you may just catch a lead, but I highly doubt they would sell easily.
