Pistol Walther PP production Zella-Mehlis "Kriwoschein?"Cal. 7.65 Browning #353750p § B (W 353750p)

Starting price 120 EUR
Result:
1.250 EUR

Barrel length 9.8 cm, year of manufacture 1938-1944, German proof, condition 3-4 approval "Adler über 369", Cyrillic inscription on the left of the slide, spotty original finish, some with slight scars. Interesting engraving on the carriage. Freely and incompletely translated - letters not clearly identifiable "A gift for Captain Krvoshein. Commander of V/G 67240 Maior Maxacor" Possibly a gift captured in the field for the Russian general and tank commander Semjon Kriwoschein (November 28, 1899 - September 16, 1978). Revised serial number on the grip (993976PP around 1938) below the 353750P (around 1944). No actual Russian loot markings, thus a gift that probably never reached the addressee or was taken away from the giver (especially since it remained in Europe)
