Walther PP What is it worth?
I have a friend that wanst to sell his Walther PP 9mm (380). It is in, I believe, 98%+ with only very small holster wear at the end of the slide on both sides. The rest of the gun is mint and he has the box in very good shape with extra magazine and a target from the factory. Any help appreciated.budreaux39

German, French, or American? Special markings? 0 -
He said German. Not sure about any special markings. I have it in the shop and looked at the blue book a little. It is post war but I know little about these.b 0 -

Post-war PP's were made at Ulm-Donau, and the slide should indicate "Ulm/Do." Those imported after 1968 will show Interarms stamped on the slide; earlier ones without the importer bring higher prices. All should have a 2 digit year stamped on the barrel. If it has the box and target, it is most likely a post-war gun.I would expect a 98% post-war German PP to sell in the $250-300 range; one NIB might bring $450-500.Neal 0 -
Thanks guys and I will check on the info given. The book said $800 for 98% but I was unsure of what it would acyually bring. I am sure it will not sell for $300 as the owner knows/thinks its worth much closer to book. Just trying to a good 'feel' of actual selling value to help him get a fair market price.b 0 -
It really depends if it's a post '68 or pre '68. There is no way a post '68 will go for $800!! A pre '68 just might, but it would be hard to find a buyer for that price. I would agree that a post '68 would bring in about $300. A pre '68 about $600. A nazi proofed one, (which is very rare in .380!!) would bring in over $1,800!!Matt[This message has been edited by mattsmilitaria (edited 03-26-2002).] 0 -

Dont you just love these guys and their "bluebook" values ??? when they price one ( a gun)from the blue thingy its almost always unrealistic as can be...for real world valuescheck the auction sites , gun list , ect...wish we could have the blue book pay us whatit states that some of these items are worth.......... 0 -
azgunnut, That is why I posted for knowledge on "Ask The EXPERTS" and to also save a little serch time. With your answer to my question, I assumed I would get a few NON-expert replys but you gotta take the good with the bad and make a decision.(lol) I try to ask here and at other EXPERT 'lounges, print out the info, hand it to the person trying to sell. After this I can help them decide on a FAIR MARKET PRICE, not what the blue book thingy says.(grin) But thank you for not letting me down on my assumption.b Now to the rest of the folks that HELPED:It is West German stamped, 9mm kurz, eagle over N, Interarms Imported, 69 barrel date, serial # 316xx. It has 2 clips, serialed box and target (matching) brass cleaning rod, has about 1/8" wear on both sides of the slide in the very front, all else is in new looking condition. I would like your best judgment of fair market value on this newly supplied info. (azgunnut, if you can refrain yourself, please (GRIN)). I wish to thank all of you who have taken time to HELP. azgunnut, I wish to say I hope you can take a little "ribbing" as I only mean to STAB you in FUN.Best, budreaux39 0 -
Since it is a post '68 import, I would still say about $300 range.Matt 0 -
