This guide, drawing on the expertise of Tom from Legacy Collectibles, details how to differentiate between commercial and military-issued Walther PP and PPK pistols manufactured before 1946. It emphasizes the critical role of specific proof marks ('Crown N', 'Eagle N', 'Waffen 359'), serial number ranges, and accessory markings (like matching magazines or Luftwaffe-stamped holsters) in authenticating these historical firearms. Understanding these nuances is key for collectors to accurately identify military contract pistols versus privately purchased commercial models.
