I was wondering if anyone knew the value of a 1937 Walther PPK

32 Cal Pistol in excellent condition is worth?

Rockhammer, Welcome to GB. Prewar PPK's in excellent condition generally sell in the $500-600 range. These pistols are not really rare but they are desireable and there is collector interest, but that is usually reserved for unfired pistols or rare variations. There are a few premuim nitches for PPK's; the biggest being a bottom magazine release (located on the heel of the grip- rather than the frame mounted button release). A 40-50% premium is usual for this type. Interestingly there is not a huge difference in price between prewar and postwar (Before 1968) PPK's. Both types sell for around the same money. The original factory box and papers would add to the value of your pistol if you have them. I hope this information helps you.

Concur with Mark. However, you didn't say if it was commercial or military. There is about a 50 to 100% difference in value on a PPk. You should have a Crown U (pre-40) proof mark only if commercial. Any other marks would cause reevaluation.
