This video provides an in-depth look at a unique Walther PPK, likely assembled from parts at the Zella-Mehlis factory during or immediately after WWII. The presenter, a knowledgeable collector, details how the gun's serial number, proof marks, and component origins (pre-war slide, wartime magazine tube, experimental aluminum frame) suggest it was never issued and was instead assembled from a parts bin. The narrative also touches on the factory's history, from its pre-war boom to its wartime use of forced labor and eventual liberation by Allied forces.
