the detail on the grip alone is remarkable.

any word on where it currently resides?

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.

If I were the owner I'd frame it and have it buried with me when I died.

I hope we never find it. Some treasures are too good for the living.

oy vey 6 million

its not worth 5 million

anybody willing to pay 4 million for that is insane

3 million is way too much to ask for a fake like that

2 million dollars and the thing jams like crazy

1 million of those were sent back for repair you know

ill give you 20 dollars for it

No it wasn’t the same PPK I found out, the ornate one was found later.

a standard issue Walther PPK, in .32 caliber, was reportedly found next to his body
