What would be a good buyer price on an ‘80’s Walther PPK? Blued and in “like new condition”? Thanks for any help offered.

Walther/Interarms PPK value?

Depends on caliber and whether German or US made. Original box, papers, test target?
If German it is kinda rare as these were banned from import in 1968 unless LE or military.
If it is US made and .380 with box and papers I would not pay more than $500.

The Interarms models seem to be the sought after models if you read the Walther forums. I’m sure as hell no expert but I personally own an 80’s PPK in 380 that does pocket duty a lot. When Smith and Wesson acquired them a change was made in the beaver tail to alleviate slide bite which the original design was known for specially if you had big hands. I’ve Never had that issue in the years and hundreds of rounds I’ve put thru mine. Anytime I’ve saw one up for sale it’s always been 650+. Doesn’t mean it didn’t sell for less…YMMV

Thanks for asking the question. I’m in the market for one as well. The $800 listings seem a bit inflated to me. In for actual value stats.
I'm a fan of Walther PP, PPK and PPKS. I've had nice collections along the way. When Colt made the defender, a 45 the same size and weight as the Walther the rest was history. I never had the S&W, but I figure it is an excellent pistol. Had Interarms and Manurhin, had troubles with them. Went German and never had any more problems, but you'll pay a premium for those
I paId $589.99 in 2011 for a PPK/S from Bargain Barn. Sold it for $550, But it had nice holster with it and some ammo
I've had the Walther PPK/S and have a Defender..... $200 price difference + on the Defender, but it's a real packer. Sold the PPK/S, still have the Defender...
Which one was $550 , if you don't mind me asking?
