The PPK/S was used in the GoldenEye video game. Look at the serial number on the grip. It reads, “For 007”. The allure of owning a Walther PPK/S.22 lies in large part with being a James Bond fan. If you are a serious Walther collector this is a gun that you will want to have in your collection. This is the one million and first serial numbered Walther PPK Pistol. The gun is in about 95% condition but the serial number is 1000001 and that is something that is too neat not to own.
The Walther PPK (Polizei Pistole Kriminal) was produced since 1930. It was developed for a hidden carriage. The engineers from Walther reduced the length, width and weight. The main difference to the PP is the frame with no back strap. this function was integrated in a single molded Grip. Also the grip was shortened, so the clip has only a capacity of 7 rounds. The shortness was balanced with a magazine-shoe on the bottom.
The PPK and the PP were also produced very successfully after war. Even James Bond had an Walther PPK.
