This is a Model 19-3 that my new bride bought me in 1976.

This PPK may be close to 1st year production. One serial number charts start at 7700xx which indicates 1931. Another site says that production started in 1930 with 754900. So it's about a 94 to 95 year old pistlo. It is a .32cal which was standard at the time. Maybe one of our members can...

My .02 cents:

Because it was made by Walter in West Germany it should be a good one. Walther made these for German police depts for years in .32 cal. Hey, James Bond liked them!

Cliff, please accept my condolences. As much as I would like to say something that would make you feel better I don't know of any words that will really help assuage the pain and grief that accompany such a loss. Both of you are in my prayers.

Guys, lighting can strike you anywhere! I think that the secret to staying safe is knowing your own limitations. But as mamma used to say, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

@NMEDGE welcome back to the fellowship of the forum. We missed you. As for retirement, I always planned to die in the harness pulling the plow, but life got in the way of that notion and now I'm just running out the clock but doing it my way!

A true hero and a shining example to all. Great story Talyn!

Those are some butt ugly grips. For comparison here is a Model 63 which is built on a J frame while the 617 is a K frame. I just might have to get a K frame to see which one I like the best!

Lincoln's quote, "A house divided against itself cannot stand," looms as large as ever.

What a woman! I bet you she carries a straight razor tucked down in one of those boots.

My FIL was probably one of those GI's sending hate mail to Hormel. The last few months of the war SPAM about the only meat that he ate. He was in the 90 Division of the 3rd Army and at that point in the war he rarely spent two nights in a row in the same place. Needless to say SPAM was never...

Very funny story about Washington's picture in a watercloset:

No July 4th goes by at my house without watching Kate Smith sing her signature song:

Well .30 cal machine guns took down King Kong! I'm sure multiple hits from a .50 cal would work on a t-rex just fine.

Yep, and he can't take them with him!

My thoughts exactly! As I have written before he who dies with the most guns wins.

I know this is on MSN but it's good information if one is not aware of the early problems the M16 presented due to the government's bureaucracy...

How true. Written by a man that was married to the same woman for 44 years. Sometimes you just have to ignore that 500 pound gorilla sitting in the room with the 2 of you and just listen.
