This is the newest member to my collection:

This is one of the nicest SS Presentation Gold Engraved PP's you will ever see. Serial number (215372) is right in the middle of a solid block of FACTORY engraved presentation guns, including a gold engraved to Himmler (215335), a gold engraved to Albert Speers (215361), and a gold engraved to Herman Goring (215366). This one comes with the usual ivory grips and a deep quality chiseled engraving that is easily seen in the photos. Even the grip screws are engraved. These presentation SS pistols are not the typical engraved quality, they are the highest quality chiseled engraving. Although the identity of the original owner of this pistol hasn't yet been identified, research is now ongoing to obtain this information. A true collectors prize.
For an illustrated and in depth discussion of these gold presentation SS Walther PP's see the book by Ulric Of England, "Inside The Allgemeine SS 1925-1945" Pages 346- 351.
