This is a replacement or spare grip for the Walther PPK, the compact version of the Walther PP police pistol. The PPK was developed around 1929–1931 and was sold commercially and under contract. After 1939 it also saw military use, and wartime production ended in 1944. Prewar and wartime PPKs normally carry a one-piece wraparound grip. It is moulded from phenolic resin (Bakelite or Trolit-type plastic) and has a metal reinforcement inside. The grip covers both sides and the backstrap, and it is held by a single screw. Walther also moulded its banner logo into the plastic. Early and mid-war grips are usually described as marbled or mottled brown with black streaks. Later wartime examples shifted towards grey-brown, grey or black. Very late in the war, pressed wood was used on some Walther pistols. Collectors identify the type by the wraparound form, the internal steel insert, the moulded checkering and the banner. Postwar Walther and Manurhin PPKs used two-piece grips instead. The original material is brittle and often cracked. Modern reproductions are common, so collectors usually check the interior and the moulding quality.
