Walther Pp Serial Numbers Chart
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.

The other side of the slide has the Carl Walther Stamp and then Waffenfabrik and it looks like Um / Da (sorry. Sometime in 1938 Walther realized that they were going to have a problem with serial numbers, for their model 8 pistol (a smaller size 6,35 m/m semi-auto pocket pistol that had gone into production in around 1920) was now approaching serial number 750000 (the start of the PP pistol numbers).

(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. With that being said, I might need to have the feed ramp polished on mine. Your really need to fire both types of ammo & not just a few rounds to see what is dependable in your gun. I only use FMJs in mine because I have never had a problem with them. Also do not use +p ammo in your gun (too much power for it's construction, in my opinion). Hope this helps. Vincent, first thank you very much for the informative post and the links.
I will be following up on them. I do have Interarms stamped on the slide with what looks like a snowflake stamped in the middle.
There is an Eagle on the grip, but I see nothing else. The serial number on the slide is 6 numbers. Download ebook lengkap panduan sholat wajib dan sholat sunah islam.

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.'
