Besides the above PPK serial numbers issued through the RSHA ****nal to Einsatzgruppen units in 1941, the source of the Red Book material contained small notices of shipment and delivery. Such is this notice dated May 21, 1940 indicating the shipment and delivery of 10 Walther PPK pistols and accessories to the Commander of the Security Police and Security Service for the District of Lublin in the General Gouvernment. The pistols were numbered 249 175 K through 249 183 K and were shipped each in what seems by description to be a standard Walther pistol shipment: standard carton with aluminum cleaning kit containing cleaning supplies and a manual. In addition, above the list of pistols is total inventory of the shipment of material to Lublin: 10 pistols, 10 reserve magazines, 10 cleaning rods, 30 training cartridges (3 @ pistol), 10 BLACK leather holsters for a PPK, 10 shoulder holsters for a PPK (complete) and 2500 rounds of 7.65mm ammo (250 rounds per gun). This document provides an interesting insight into the shipping practices of the RSHA and the fact that black holsters were specified in May 1940, even though the RSHA inventory cards in use at that time did not specify color.
