Walther/AC ~ PP ~ .32 ACP

The Walther PP (German: Polizeipistole lit. "police pistol") series pistols are blowback-operated semi-automatic pistols, developed by the German arms manufacturer Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen. The Walther PP series feature an exposed hammer, a double-action trigger mechanism, a single-column magazine, and a fixed barrel that also acts as the guide rod for the recoil spring. The PP series incorporates a number of design features that were rare at the time it was first produced, but were in common usage by the late 20th Century. These include double-to single-action operation, a rounded hammer spur to avoid snagging when drawing the pistol, a loaded chamber indicator and a safety, which, when activated, decocks the pistol. 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. This example dates to 1944 and has German Military proof marks. Finish is good with the pistol showing normal wear.
