I just acquired a 1969 Walther PP, cal. 7.65mm.
It does not have the chamber loaded indicator, and the slide is not
machined for the indicator--no holes for the indicator on back near
hammer, or on front next to firing pin. (I have another 1969 PP, cal
380, and it has the indicator.)
Does anyone know why this pistol would be missing the indicator?
Details of gun markings are below.
The barrel marking indicates the year "69", and has the walther
"antler" and the eagle/N marks.
The left side of slide has "carl walther Waffenfabrik Ulm/Do", and
underneath that, on 2nd line, has the walther banner and "modell PP cal
7.65mm". The word "Carl" is right above the walther banner.
The slide also says "made in west germany"
on 2 lines to the right of the other wording. The right side of
the slide does not have a serial number, and has three markings: the
eagle/N, the walther antler, and what looks like "II" between the other
two marks.
The serial number on the frame, behind the trigger guard is 393XXX, (no letter at the end) and
also has the eagle/N marking.
The import mark on the frame is "CIA Georgia VT".
Thanks for any info you can offer.
