The Walther PPK (Polizei Pistole Kriminal) was produced since 1930. It was developed for a hidden carriage. The engineers from Walther reduced the length, width and weight. The main difference to the PP is the frame with no back strap. this function was integrated in a single molded Grip. Also the grip was shortened, so the clip has only a capacity of 7 rounds. The shortness was balanced with a magazine-shoe on the bottom.

I know Smith acquired Walther a little while back, but it was only when I really noticed the gun's serial number that it got me curious about it. The right side of the slide says 'Walther USA, LLC' and beneath that 'Springfield, MA'. The serial number is '9800AAA'. I have never seen a serial number end in 3 letters, let alone three of the same.

It has CAI Vt as the importer, and a Stag horn with a 75 which I am taking to mean the barrel was proofed in 1975.
The PPK and the PP were also produced very successfully after war. Even James Bond had an Walther PPK.
