Douglas Jr. Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 bsweeney,That's a nice PPK and Police proofed guns are sought after by collectors everywhere.Congratulations!However, you must be careful with the statement that "only 27 guns survived". What the book says is that 27 guns of this specific type were reported to the author when the source was printed. I bet that this number increase during the last 27 years - considering that the 1982 is the edition date.Besides that, have in mind that it may be many others still existing that never were reported after all! I would look for a fresher source in order to stablish the surviving rate concerning this Police contract.Hoever, these facts do not detract the rarity or interest on your piece. You can bet that I would love to have it in my collection! Greetings,Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings,DouglasCan you please offer me the title of the book the info was second hand and that is why there is faulty reporting, can you please suggest a more up to date book for me to research.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Jr. Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 bsweeney,Well, I am in the same dead's end as you, as my previous message was based on the post made by nesredep.For a printed source, I would recommend you Jan Still's book "Third Reich Pistols", which was published during the 90s, I think.However, if you are looking for a more updated data, I suggest you to become a member of the P38 & PPK Forum, ran by Orv Reichert and others. I'm sure that can give you a more acurate information on your PPK. The site is:http://www.p38forum.com/You can also try the Jan Still himself discussion board at: http://luger.gunboards.com/That's all I can do for you now! Hope it helps you a bit more. If not, let me know that we can figure out some other thing.Greetings,Douglas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have listed this pistol on P38 and all I got was rather cursory info. Maybe I will try again with the addition of the info above and see what happens. I will also try the Jan Still discussion board. Please get back to me if anything new develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
