Is it my imagination, or does the front sight disappear? It shows it some pictures, but isn't there in others. TJ

The front site is there its the flash from the camera and the white cloth its laying on. Sorry.

It ia a common war time produced PPK. I would evaluate it t 90% and put 600-800 on it . Hope this helps?
Kind Regards
Danny

NOTE: I would put the production date as 1942.

Thank you. There is a gun show in my area this weekend, would it be worth taking up?

Jim K · 10-12-2010, 06:28 PM

The gun dates to 1940. Unless the magazine is serial numbered to the gun, I see no special markings that would make it worth more than Danny's figures. As for selling it at a gun show, remember that you will be dealing with dealers; Danny's values are retail, that is what a dealer would try to get, not what he would give for it.
