I have owned maybe 8 or 9 Walther pocket pistols. Most of them Model PP in .32 as they were sold very reasonably as police surplus at a time when I had plenty of money. Also a couple of American made PPks .380s in stainless. Also an American made TPh in .22LR. Also several real copies made by Manurhin in France and close copies made in Hungary.

I have also had a couple of target model PP (actually I think the call them Sports models) made by Manurhin (who most people know actually made nearly all the post war Walther PP. PPK models and shipped them to Germany where they were stamped “made in Germany).

Anyway, all every single one was accurate. I had one U.S. Made stainless .380 which would rarely jam and the TPh, also made in America was a real jammer, tho oddly when it did fire it was very accurate.

You’re obviously a man of taste. Wish I had had the money back then to collect like that. My PPKs has the Interarms stamp - I think that they wer the importer, not the manufacturer. Bought mine back in what - 1974. I think? At the San Francisco Gun Exchange, of all places. That would make it 35 years old, not 32. How time flies...
