My Grandfather's brother brought this Walther PP back. Supposedly the story is that he was in the first tank division to cross the Rhine. Some research states that the Walther plant was ransacked in '45. Not sure if he acquired it that way or from a German soldier. Upon return he gave it to my Grandpa, and I just picked it up after he passed away last year.

Some further inquiring from some Walther gurus:

Hi Wes:
I'm sure Dieter will stop by soon,but I can give you the date of production,
it was early 1944.You say the grips are brown or if they are the pistol was
used in competition shooting,and the grips were started back in the early
30's and changed from one pisol after another thru the years.You are lucky
to have a matching mag sn,if you could find the #1
you would be really in good shape.The SA was called the Storm Div,Storm
troopers or brown shirts.This was in the late twenties and earl thirties.
Regards Danny

Hello Wes,
That PP was made in 1944 and is one of the sixth production version
(longer tang, no step at trigger guard base). The reddish grips were
indeed issued for SA shooters. The serialled mag number "2" is unusual
for an SA shooter though.

This "everything else" gun is fast becoming "something else." Not to M&P everyone to death, but these things are a great alternative for us 1911 fans. I can't wait to hold the .45ACP version.

And with the Dawson Precision fiber optic:

(OK. My first attempt to post a pic was obviously not successful)
Here's my M&P9 with Dawson Precision fiber optic front.

This is one of the few handguns I have that's worth taking a picture of.

Smith & Wesson 3rd Model Hand Ejector, .44 Special, made in 1933. It took me the better part of a decade to find a 4" example for sale, and I paid such a ridiculously small amount for this beauty it would make you sick. I still have the original grips it came with, but I like these Herrett's Shooting Stars better. I'm more into Glocks nowadays, but this is one I will never sell for any amount of money.
