Type 4 SS/RSHA Walther PPK

[moosedog]

I was lucky to find this type 4 SS/RSHA pistol rig on the net one morning. The seller had no idea what it was except that it was from WWII. Came with one matching numbered spine stamped magazine.
Looks like Eichorn was in the Motor Pool.

I have found four that sellers did not know what they had, but none of mine can be traced to someone. That’s a big plus, have not seen one sell that that match’s a record card

There is a least one out there, a very rough PPK that was issued to an SS man in one of the Einsatzgruppen. A I think. Dealer had it a few years ago. Correction: an SS-Sturmmann in Einsatzgruppe C.

This is only the second one I have heard of that is matched to a card. Very cool!

VERY nice piece you acquired. And you have found that indeed Eichhorn was in the RSHA motorpool with HQ on Potsdamer Chausee in Berlin. Rather than an Acting Detective, he was an Employee of the Kripo. And interesting that he was issued his pistol in mid 1943 with the black belt holster.

With the help of a gentleman on another forum I found out that the part of the motor pool that Eichorn worked in was responsible for the gas trucks.
Not the ones that carry fuel, but the ones that gave one-way rides to the Jewish people and others. I was not even aware that those existed.

This is all one wants in a walther. Wonderful!

Amazing with the internet that people still don’t know what the have. That’s a really evil connection with this pistol, fitting serial number too.
