Speaking a bit of history, these pistols were given to the personnel of the money-collecting tellers of the Caja de Ahorros de Santiago, now Banco Estado de Chile, in 1940 for their personal protection. I currently have one with all its accessories, in its original box and with a small box of ammunition that came inside it in excellent condition.

Tom, after watching your video about your heart issue, I made some appointments. Tomorrow I go on the treadmill and Eco. Thanks for taking time to post that. BTW when I was watching that video, I was in my wife's hospital room. She had some heart issues too. Again, thanks!
The label of theconversion kit shows the Santiago dealer, " AWAD Hmnos" ( Hermanos= Brothers) Awad is a Syrian/ Levantine Name, on the pre WWI and soon after WWI, many Syrians emigrated to Chile and Argentina, of the more peaceful conditions. They prospered as Merchants, and Gunshops were one of their many businesses. Obviously, for Walther to produce Spanish Language Boxes and manuals, theyhad a large market on Latin America ( High levels of German populationsin Chile and Argentina as well) not only the Spanish ( European ) Market.

I may not be accurate here but the PPK you displayed has a 60 degree safety and the manual you pictured also displays a 60 degree safety. I thought that the early PPK's had a 90 degree safety.
Very cool PPK chain of owner ship is just as interesting as the pistol. I hope you consider opening your own private museum some day (tax write off). I wish we could own short barreled guns in Canada but they have to be longer then 4.17". thanks again
@@Hidalguense Hola acá vi algunas Walther PP y PPK para compra privada por parte de oficiales del Ejército Colombiano, que llegaron en distintas importaciones antes y después de la Guerra con sus instructivos en castellano, conozco dos pistolas acá en Bogotá en colecciones privadas, no especifican para Colombia como el caso de este ejemplo, solo están en Castellano.

Wow...what a beauty...this one really needs to go on a world tour so everybody can see it and afterwards careully archived and stored in this mountainous "safe" where all the human archievements are stored in case we all perish and stuff can be found by an alien race millenia after us..
I noticed that Pre 1945 PPK model in the rare .380 auto all have a bottom magazine release. However Post war PPK .380 models / Walther & Manurhin manufactured have a side magazine release just as the Pre 1945 models had in 22 lr & .32 cal. Does anybody know why the pre 1945 PPK's in .380 were originally designed that way with a bottom mag release?
It may be a 4mm, have one like that for my S&W m14, the ammo is an elonggated primer with a tiny pellet on top, very common for indoor shooting in europe, so called gallery shooting
Please refrain from using "9mm" to describe these PP/PPK pistols. Yes I know the .380ACP caliber was called "9mm kurz" in Europe, but today the term 9mm almost universally means the 9mm Luger cartridge, which is larger and far more powerful than the 9mm kurz.
@@LegacyCollectibles No, you definitely mentioned this at 3:05. These guys are just flexing their knowledge for the sake of it. Maybe they can argue you should have added "Kurz" to the description, but I don't think it matters.
A little of topic but do u know le page pistols in use of thirth Reich a friend found a pistol dump pit with 5 pistols in it. One le page , barretta , p38 and p08 black grip and one with wooden grip On a ss position, the ss was captured by american troops
I am counting 6 witness holes + the top round on those mags... so they are 7 round 380 mags? Why are the modern 380 PPK mags only able to hold 6 rounds?
Hello im Héctor from Honduras my grandfather giving me a whalther ppk 9 mm kurtz like this and i need more information i think this gun is very old maybe ore ww ll who can i contact you?
Ritengo che le guancette di questa Walther PPK in 9 mm, non siano quelle originali. Per il resto ci troviamo difronte ad uno splendido esemplare. Cordiali saluti.
Not sure what you are looking at, but our subs just keep growing. Adding about 1000 per week. We are well below Forgotten Weapons but each week is a new high for us. Thanks for watching.
Great gun. Btw, i hope this guy got weapon specialist to find out it's condition, instead of giving them to someone who will do this by shooting it. In one video it wasn't funny at all when he joked "he might get hurt or not, let's see" or something like this. Fortunately test went well with that guy, despite pistol being in very bad condition.
You need to lighten up and enjoy life. I was joking and having fun. I handle over 100 weapons a week and your suggestion is that I need to get a weapons expert.? 30 years of collecting.... never an incident, never a problem. What expert would have more experience?
@@thomaswhiteman4261 You are correct about me having to go over some things and enjoy life. I believe such time has come so thanks. Who will know more than you? Probably gunsmiths, weapons designers, enginners, collectors are on the bottom of the list.

Help your supporters get educated about safety because the rest of your program is very interesting. Enjoy!
Nice PPK! Thanks for sharing!

PP and PPks are just the most beautiful pistols ever
No, Makarov is.
@@morriszachrisson8359 Yeah, Makarov is beautiful but PPK is most beautiful pistol in the World.
@@kagebiit6076 No, Glock is.
Amazing. How these things can remain in the condition they do for decades astounds me.
A basic Thank you Tom, no words to describe the beauty of this pistol.
Thanks so much Tom. What a lovely object!
Rich.
Wow. Truly a special and ultra-rare piece. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I have a 7,65mm ULM ppk from 1971 (the box says alexandria Virginia but it has german proofmarks) greetings from Germany
What a wonderful video and presentation! Absolutely love your channel...thank you!
A superb presentation! Thank you, Tom!
Fantastic video! Loved it!
Tom, after watching your video about your heart issue, I made some appointments. Tomorrow I go on the treadmill and Eco. Thanks for taking time to post that. BTW when I was watching that video, I was in my wife's hospital room. She had some heart issues too. Again, thanks!
So glad sharing my experience was beneficial. Im feeling great, and back to running 3 miles about 3 X per week. Try to enjoy every day !! God Bless
Wow Tom, what a great gun and find! Congratulations I'm sure it must be only one of a few truly one in a lifetime guns in you're collection.
I'm so jealous that you get all these awesome Walther's! But sure am glad you share these videos!!
Me alegro mucho saber sobre una pistola que tiene historia en Chile mi país, saludos
Chllean Mausers heco en Chile son muy popular todo dia creo Que lo hiceron en Wachepato
I always learn something new from your videos. Especially this one.
What an astounding find. I can't imagine its value.
"Ohne" is the word you are looking for.
Amazing find!

90 degree safety was only used from 1929 to about 1935.
Thank you!!!
Love everything chilean
Unreal! Amazing gun.
Just like my grandson says "sharing is caring" :)
Love your video's.So intresting.
Those conversation kits were quite popular before WW2.......
It looks like Chile has good taste in HANDGUNS
A lot of Germans live there
That was awesome congrats
I hope it stays in your collection Tom. Merry Christmas sir!

You're really making me want to get a Lebel.

Muchas gracias for sharing! : )
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
9:26min. It’s not .22 it’s 4mm M20 basically a Boxer primer with a 4,30mm ball on top
Thanks. Was trying to figure that out
I'm dreaming hope to wake up having it lol
It may be a 4mm, have one like that for my S&W m14, the ammo is an elonggated primer with a tiny pellet on top, very common for indoor shooting in europe, so called gallery shooting
Wow!!!
Essa é uma das minhas preferidas.
As amazing as this gun is the highlight of the video is your phone book joke lol
Thank you…
Need more light over the desk.
Wow...
I have a Walther PP ULM 7.65mm, pinky clip, all parts are original... trying to get a idea of what it is worth.
Ohne = Without
It's exciting, yet awkward when you say "quickie"
I see a little cut out on the left grip (for a magazine release ?)
Yes. The bottom of the grip is altered. Cut out for the mag release lever
Please refrain from using "9mm" to describe these PP/PPK pistols. Yes I know the .380ACP caliber was called "9mm kurz" in Europe, but today the term 9mm almost universally means the 9mm Luger cartridge, which is larger and far more powerful than the 9mm kurz.
Hi Tom
I was wondering if you sell it how much you would ask
Without is Ohne.
9mm kurz is .380ACP, not 9mm Luger
3:05
9mm kurz is 9x17 or .380 , 9mm Luger is 9 x19
You are correct. I thought I said that in the video, but perhaps I didnt make it clear.
@@LegacyCollectibles No, you definitely mentioned this at 3:05. These guys are just flexing their knowledge for the sake of it. Maybe they can argue you should have added "Kurz" to the description, but I don't think it matters.

I Will take a look if i can find another one and let You know.
Do You like Chilean Navy Lugers? 😎
Yes, Check it out, I can take another.
I am counting 6 witness holes + the top round on those mags... so they are 7 round 380 mags? Why are the modern 380 PPK mags only able to hold 6 rounds?

Mit oder ohne...
Estimated value?
6 - 10 k U.S.
how many $
german 'mit oder ohne' = english 'with or without'
Thanks for the help. I took German in high school and knew that back then. Lost a lot of what I knew.
Dear Sir!Please make video with Walther mod.TPH(Tashe Pistole MIT Hunn).My Respect
What will such a gun...this gun...cost? Anybody..?
$6-7k
Also wow subs have dropped very significantly. What is going on.
Not sure what you are looking at, but our subs just keep growing. Adding about 1000 per week. We are well below Forgotten Weapons but each week is a new high for us.
Thanks for watching.
@@LegacyCollectibles Oh thats great! maybe i was looking at it weird like 3500 vs 35,000. Great channel man. I keep saying it but you guys are great
Is this 9mm Luger? With a fixed barrel?
It is 9mm kurz. That is 9mm short or more commonly .380 acp.
It is a 9x19 mm if it was a .380 it would definitely say kurz . He`s had vids on these before.
@@gunfisher4661 says 9mm kurz right on the box. Timestamp 3 minutes and ten seconds for a good look at the 9mm kurz marking on the box.
If i ever get some rare gun in my life, my wife will go first before the gun.lol
.380, not "9mm."
Great gun. Btw, i hope this guy got weapon specialist to find out it's condition, instead of giving them to someone who will do this by shooting it.

So sad to see these guns go into a safe because people are afraid to shoot them to not "hurt" the "collector" value.
What a waste...
I'm arqe
Have a friend has a 25 cal Luger is he full of shit?
