Walther Pp Serial Numbers Chart

Posted: 

Oct 22, 2014  Ser# 285,xxx on a Walther PPK (ZellaMellis) should have a 'K' suffix to the number on the frame. The matching ser# marked on the right side of the slide was generally with-out the suffix. Serial numbering for the PP pistol started at #75,000 (1929). Walter PP with what looks to be horizantl 'N' on right side of barrel. The approximate range of serial numbers for Walther PP's produced during the war(1939-1945) are 155501P to 3906xxP. Your serial number with the ac (Walther mfg code) falls in the late war, 1945 production period.

While you can find out about a weapon's origins is through law enforcement channels (i.e. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or the ATF), it is possible to find out about a Walther gun by doing some savvy online searches yourself. Bear in mind that because you are choosing an alternate route, there is a margin of error in the results that you receive. Fortunately, given the historical background of Walther pistols, there are books available that list many of the serial numbers of the guns that were produced by Walther. • Find the gun's serial number. The serial number can be located in any one of several places on the gun, depending on which gun you possess. It may be on the frame of the gun, above the trigger guard or on the grip.

On Walther pistols, the serial number will generally be located on the left-hand side of the slider. If you have any trouble locating the serial number for any reason, you can bring the gun into your local gun shop for help. • Pick up a copy of either E.J. Hoffschmidt's 'Know Your Walther PP & PPK' or Gene Gangarosa's 'The Walther Handgun Story: A Collector's and Shooter's Guide.' Either one of these books will contain an index of serial numbers for Walther guns. Keep in mind Hoffschmidt's book was written circa 1975, so it will have information that is more dated.

Gangarosa's book, which came out in 1999, will have information that is more current.

I just inherited a Walther PPK (380) from my father. The gun was acquired around 1975 and has been sitting dormant with my mother since his death in 1978. I have read some of the history and I know they were manufactured by many different companies over the years. This one is I believe an actual Walther made gun since it was purchased around 1975 and they were not made in the US until 1978. (Alabama) This is the best information I have come up with so far. I guess I would question y'all who have great gun knowledge for better information or just point me in the right direction. I also want to know if this one if indeed was made by Walther suffers the same issues as later ones I have read such horrendous tales about?

Also I wonder what are the chances it will do well with a HP bullet? Right now it seems like I will have to take whatever I can get my hands on, but I still want to know more about this gun.

Thanks for any help from this community. Sounds like you have one of the 'good' Walthers. I just tracked down the background on mine through these two forums. You can check the manufacturing info of your gun by using the markings on the frame and slide. For example, here are the ones on mine: Made in W. Germany Imported by Interarms Eagle over N on slide (German manufacturing mark) Eagle over N, HI, Antler on frame (German manufacturing mark, HI=1978 Date concersion chart: A = 0 B = 1 C = 2 D = 3 E = 4 F = 5 G = 6 H = 7 I = 8 K = 9 A gun marked AE, for example, would have a born-on date of 2004; a gun with a GF stamp would have been made in 1965. (Note that the J is not used.) Proofmarks: As far as FMJ va JHP bullets, I have had some issues with JHPs hanging when chambering.
