Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of firearms were featured at the MAX Show 2021?

The MAX Show 2021 featured a variety of collectible firearms including engraved Walther P38s, post-war P38s, Walther Model 9s and 8s, Smith & Wesson Victory Models, Mauser Model 1934 and HSCs, CZ-27s, Berettas, Lugers, police-contract Walther PPs, and SS contract Walther PPs. Many items were historical or military-issue.

How can one identify an SS contract Walther PP pistol?

SS contract Walther PP pistols can be identified by specific serial number ranges, often starting with '157', and by the presence of numbering on both the frame and the slide. They are also frequently found with matching magazines and black holsters with black stitching.

What are the key differences between army and police Luger magazines?

A primary difference lies in the magazine bottom pin. Army Luger magazines typically have a concave pin, while police-issue Luger magazines feature a convex pin. This distinction helps in identifying the intended service branch of the Luger.

What makes the PDM contract Walther PP pistols unique?

PDM (Police Department of Munich) contract Walther PP pistols are unique because they were chambered in 7.65mm but featured a bottom magazine release, unlike standard PPs. They also often came with two finger-extension magazines, which were not notched for a push-button release.
