I have a a Walther PPK/S .380 that was manufactured by Interarms. It is not one of the Smith & Wesson manufactured jam-o-matics. This pistol is in as new condition having been fired very little. This pistol looks a lot better in person that the picture represent. Unfortunately, I do not have the box, spare magazine, or owner's manual. Priced at $475.00.

You mean imported by Interarms correct?
Also S&W does not or ever has made them . They are made by Walther Gmbh and imported by S&W. |

You need to check your facts. German made PPK or PPK/S haven't been imported for years. Interarms pistols were made right here in the USA by Ranger Manufacturing of Gadsden, Alabama. S&W makes the current version in Houlton, Maine. |

That is correct Thiokol, both PPK's and PPK/S's were manufactured under license by Interarms and and are made by S&W now. Though Interarms did import a few Walthers in the early years, those aren't stamped with the Interarms name on the slide.
F.Y.I. Interarms also manufactured TPH pistols. |

The PP, PPK & PPK/S that Interarms imported were either made entirely in Germany, or were assembled and proofed in Germany from parts made in France. The first guns imported after GCA68, had "Interarms" molded into the bottom of the right grip. After 1968, by ATF ruling, they were all marked "Interarms" on the right side of the slide and marked "Made in Germany" either on the frame aft of the trigger, on the slide, or sometimes in both places. |

I'd be willing to entertain a reasonable cash offer or a trade offer for a quality handgun. I can always add cash to make a trade fair for both of us. My interests are extensive so let me know what you have for trade. |
