So glad there are people like you out there in which others with ultra rare pieces of history can entrust you with keeping those pieces safe and secure. Also being able to share them with the rest of the world! Thanks!
Looks like (at least to me) that the unknown grip has a wider relief on the top of the left side. Great video by the way!
Saw that as well, before I went to the comments section. But the other side didn't have it. Definitely different mold production periods.
Yep, the safety cutout is glaring,y different. The eagles are also not close. Different wings, different classy, different beaks, etc. The checkering is also significantly different, it’s all rounded on the unknown origin grip. It’ could be original, it’s possible Walther had multiple molds....
I noticed that as well. 👍
I agree, obviously not the same mold
Good eye and it does. Even the feathers are different.
Love that sign in the background.
Love the new studio. Really appreciate your videos and the knowledge you bring to them.
I appreciate your expertise on the Walthers and so on but more so i appreciate your humor, that keeps my subscribed, i don't own no Walthers so ... by-the-way ... nice studio.
Now, you KNOW that the G.I. who brought it home didn't tell the folks back home he cobbled it together from parts at war's end. Instead, I'm sure he made up some outrageous tale about how he got it from Goering himself. LOL!
Tom, Great video and thanks for a wonderful history lesson. Your the best.
Borchardt are hard to get too
haha good one
That's a really cool piece of history. Thank you for sharing
Very cool PPK! I always enjoy watching your videos and the amazing guns you show us!
You are very fair with your prices, you have prices for high end collectors and for beginners with soft budgets, good for you.
Never a dead horse ,always interesting.
Very Cool an thanks for showing these Walther PPK's , Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love these party leader pistols and the interesting story around them..thank you Tom
Tom , You always surprised me,,,,,I love Your WORK !!!!!!!!!
Beautiful Lovely Walther !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't have a problem buying that handgun for the money You are asking for...
The problem is , I'm from Canada, and all handguns that are less then 4.25 inch barrel are
prohibited to shoot or own.....😤
👍Outstanding. Thank you for all the good videos you share. 🇺🇸✌️
Another great specimen. Thanks.... I love watching.
Love the stories of these vet bring backs.
Eagle brow and notches are different on the left side. Interesting and wonderful looking piece.
Very nice gun ! Tnx
Does the scallop for the decocker lever on the “unknown “ grip seem deeper to anyone else? Not sure if that means anything...
Yes. I noticed that. May have been repaired there due to chip from the safety hitting.
@@thomaswhiteman4261 love your stuff, Tom. I learn something new every time.
I was thinking the same
I love this channel.
Thank you!!!
You are the best. Thanks
A bit more light in the background Tom, say about 15-20% would show items and of course yourself a bit better.
Love your videos and the new set up......A bit more light is needed on you and your desk though......
Tom, did that sign on your shelf come from your previous business? 🤔
Don't have a a PPK but have a PP mfg 69' German of course. Finest .380 I've ever fired. No bull. Accurate every time. Relibable, every time. No issues ever. Again, made in in Germany. I would bet my my life.on this weapon. Anytime.
Que peça maravilhosa
Amazing firearm.
Lucky that nobody tried a botch home blue job on it, looks great. Captured . . . . did it put up a fight?
Your wife is named T Stoff? I sense some great chemistry there!
@@SteamCrane Nice one!
Great video! Keep beating the dead horse!
I love the design but my one is with plastic grip
But I like wooden grips on chrome
Another great example of German engineering. Thanks for showing 🇳🇱👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for letting us all see that what a story to have behind a gun. Fighting the greatest Evil the world has ever known. An American soldier assembles it in the famous Walter gun factory. Brings it to America
If the slide is unfinished and not blued, then why is the red dot indicating not safe painted on slide?
Where could I purchase a replica grip for display
Hey, does anyone have any explanation for red luger grips. Not red bern but red. I have my grandfathers luger that he took off a nazi. It always had clear grips painted red on the inside with bandages keeping them in place, no grip screws. The paint covered all parts of the grip except where the magazine shown through. That part was see through. Its dated 1917 if that helps
Its very rugged though and the grips appear to have been fashioned with a knife or bayonet, (they don't fit on perfectly but they do fit.) Again the grips are clear but looked to have been painted on the backs.
Also I have a photo of it during the war with the same grips but its impossible to tell if it was red then yet.
WW1 lugers all had wood grips. Sounds like someone painted them.
@@thomaswhiteman4261 He didnt take it during wwi. He took it in wwii. It was used in wwi and wwii
I was thinking maybye a weird sweetheart grip but idk
Great video. Considering the source, I don’t think it should ever be sold.
My Grandad was Royal Marines Commando during WW2 , he had a a very similar weapon , unfortunately , after Dunblane he handed it over to be destroyed 😭
how much is a room why is it only sailors that have to pay in advance?
I've been watching a few LC videos and his fascination and enthusiasm with Nazi - Party leader owned Walther's is a bit perplexing. Out of all the Walther pistol production, why would you own anything related to Nazi's? Hasn't it been well documented how evil they were? I have a first production year 1952 France made Manurhin PP and the fit and finish is on par if not better than many of the 1945 and earlier German Walther's not France's position during Hitler's ethnic cleansing goal.
It shouldn’t be perplexing. People don’t like it because they agree with the ideas of Hitler. They admire it because of its quality and because it’s part of history. Liking it doesn’t equal support of the ideology. If it bothers you it’s understandable, but everyone doesn’t feel the same, and they don’t want to just throw it away because of who made it or brought it into being. The same could hold true for someone who collects Civil war relics. If they keep or desire Southern material, it doesn’t mean they are racist, or support slavery.
I was always under the impression that these eagle ‘party’ grips were fakes that first appeared in the 1960s and personally I’ve only ever seen them on Japanese MGC replicas (P38 and PPK pistols). I frequent various WW2 militaria forums and it seems that the consensus is that these are post war fantasy additions.
So basically can anyone point me to photographic evidence of these existing before the 1960s, because I’m very interested to find out..
that original ppk box has the indention of the party leader grip in the felt or wtvr it is and that case is nazi era
@@dalcallcenter2879 Cool, but, it wouldn’t take long for the felt to permanently develop the indentation, so the grip still could have been add years after the war. For example I have some reproduction medals in a frame and the felt backing has impressions of the medals, i did the display myself in the late 90s. But I’m still to see legit ww2 era photographic evidence of these grips... P.s I’m a genuine history fan and this is a genuine comment too!
Will, are you saying just the Black grips, or that all PL grips are fake?
Where can I buy a good reproduction black grips for Walther PPK? I cannot afford the real ones.
for the fatherland //////
Das father land
the 1st like
👍🇳🇴
🤌🏻🥃
So it is stolen?
Nope. Commanding officers ordered all guns to be collected and then gave written permission for soldiers to take home souvenirs .
@@thomaswhiteman4261 So it is stolen? 😂
Looks like a fake let me tell you that
Wrong
@@thomaswhiteman4261 yeah but it realy looks like
@@ahmet42selim65 There's a difference between watching something in a video and holding it in your hands for examination. Tom even said he can't be sure from just looking at a photo and needs to see it in person for a correct identification.
