This pistol is currently fitted with a standard blued Walther marked magazine with the very scarce, large brown plastic finger rest base plate. It has the 90 degree safety and checkered streaked brown plastic with the "WALTHER" inside a banner on each side of the grip. The inside of the slide is correctly numbered (477) to match the frame. The right side of the pistol has the early "Crown/N" commercial proofs on the barrel, chamber area and slide. It has the standard Walther factory slide markings on the left side followed by the circled "RZM" markings. The "RZM" markings on Walther pistols, were used on a periodic basis and are found in several serial numbers ranges with the earliest block of numbers being approximately 803,638-844,468, with this example being right tin the middle of that block. The Reichs Zeugmeisterei (RZM) served as the quartermasters office of the National Socialists party (NSDAP) and later became the chief approving authority on some types of military weapons, clothing, textiles and some raw materials for the Third Reich. This is a very fine Walther PPK pistol with the high desirable/scarce "RZM" markings on the slide. Desirable Pre-World War II Nazi Walther PPK with RZM Markings and Leather Holster
