I was at the academy sports earlier looking at ammo when I was talking to this very nice gentleman. Well after about 20 minutes we happen to mention the legacy collectibles channel. You guys are becoming a very well-known among the gun community circles. Not that you weren't before but even in my small little hick ass town we know you guys very well and love you. God bless!
I have a commercial with those grips in the 301 serial range. I believe it’s a early-mid 44? What’s neat tho is the slide has an over stamp. 300xxx was changed to 301xxx.
When I worked for John Martz Luger carbine maker I made very nice Walther PPk grips from Circassian Walnut and I think the box magazine could be made from Circassian Walnut and would be more resistant to chipping in the rear. The 1924 1911 transitional Colt has a 1911 slide; I noticed the narrow slit in the rear sight and the front sight was thin.
Good lesson on why not to slam magazines in place. There is also a chance of damaging the ears on top of the magazine. Especially on lugars.. Best too carefully press them in place.
The first magazine shown are for a Walther P38. Seemingly they are for the PP/PPk series. I did recognize the slide on bottom plate. Looks quite familiar. I cannot afford a real Walther PP/PPk pistol. However, I have a Manurhin PP licensed copy. One does as one can.
Your theropy on grip colors could be fauld. I have worked in the plastic injection industry for years. Especially in the early years of manufacturing plastic it was difficult to repete colors because of the dye fats. When one batch of plastic was used up the next batch may not be the same nor was it even a big concern. That may be why the difference in plastic colors not only on gun grips but dagger handles, bayonet grips,etc as well.
I read that the P serial numbers on Lugers sometimes means they did not pass the complete inspection at the factory and did not get the final inspection stamps and the serial numbers were changed to P serial numbers. Is that true and does it translate to PP and PPK serial numbers too? Thank you!
Beautiful things! Thanx for showing...

AMAZING GUN'S.....Thanks Tom.....

Thank you Tom and Randy!! Thank you Both.
CB in circle is not a bank, exact same marking is observed on other brand/model guns, not likely to be owned by a bank. Possibly a dealer or importer.
Wow did you say from 1914? Extraordinary the extreme quality of manufacture from those days. Still working perfectly from the day it was made!!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing them as always.

Tom, I learn so much from you. It's a good day when you post a new video.
Nice stuff Tom !
The first 6000 PPs had all the earliest characteristics.

Great quality stuff, I regret not buying a PPK and a Luger in the UK back when they were cheaper than they are today.
I offered a P38 for sale/trade. I even sent photos as requested and never received an answer ☹️

the walther red grips are most likely a supply chain issue not being able to gt the right pigment for the black ones!
