This video explores the historical connection between the Walther PP pistol and traditional Tirolean shooting competitions during World War II. The presenter discusses a rare variation, the Tirolean Shooter Prize pistol, which the Nazis allegedly issued to winners after occupying the region. The content is presented as part of an educational series focusing on pre-1946 Walther PP and PPK models, aiming to inform viewers about the pistol's history and cultural significance in the context of wartime occupation and sporting traditions.

This video details the 'RJ' marked Walther PP pistols, which signify 'Reichsjustice' (Reich's Justice) and were issued to officials within the Nazi justice system. It distinguishes these from the debunked 'Reichsjugend' (Hitler Youth) theory and outlines three variations based on proof marks (Crown N, Eagle N) and the location of the RJ marking (front strap vs. back strap). The presenter, a collector of over 30 years, emphasizes the rarity of these pistols, especially those found in original boxes.
