Hey Y’all,

I have the PPk high polish banner only magazine and noticed recently it is numbered on the spine. I am not super familiar with the numbering styles and am guessing it’s a Police magazine. Can anyone confirm my thinking here?

Looking forward to hearing about it, and would love an approximate value too please.

It could be an SS contract.
There was a block of high polished PPKs with serial numbers ending with K
Magazines would be matching to the pistol.

It is an SS contract magazine! Ian from Forgotten Weapons goes over this. I'm not sure what it's worth, but more than a police mag for sure. Very cool!

It's a variation 4, "K" under, RSHA/SS magazine. Serial range on the variation four is 206xxxK- 234xxxK. The "K" is under the serial number on these rather than after the numbers.

Here's a link I posted on WAF about 21 years ago. Information still holds true today.

Does it match your gun? I've attached photos of a variation 4, with 2 matched magazines.

Thank you so much for confirming my hunch. The rig I lucked into is a commercial gun circa 1941. The SS magazine was in a ziploc bag in the gun rug that contained the pistol and finger extension magazine. I didn’t realize the flat bottom magazine was numbered until I get home and was looking over everything. What a pleasant surprise it was when I saw the numbered magazine.

Is there an orphan magazine list? It would be great to get this magazine back to its original pistol.
if not, I would certainly appreciate any guidance on value, either here or via PM. I look forward to any input on value and thank anyone in advance.

And HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

That mag is in the $200-250 plus range, I just got my hands on one at $175 from an associate.
