I just picked up a Walther PPK/S today for $450 FTF with the intended purpose of using it as a concealed carry piece... However, upon closer examination I am beginning to reconsider carrying it...
It is an West German Import with a 95% deep polished blue... It is a very handsome piece with just the slightest of high edge wear- I know this is a well made version and a desirable handgun despite the rage some feel over the Interarms compass banner.
Anyway, I am thinking of finding an original box for it and (gasp) make it a safe queen for posterity- Is there a way to date it and find a matching box? The serial number is 181XXX and the barrel has a 74 stamped left of the antler proof.
P.S. My US made stainless Interarms has a red dot on the safety- This imported one looks like a sloppily applied off white dot. Is that factory? Would it be a bad idea to reapply it in red?
Thanks for any assistance
