Description
You don’t see many of these—literally. With only around 2,000 ever made, the Walther PP Super is already a rare find. But this one? It’s even more special. Stamped with the prototype serial number V1006, it offers something few collectors ever get their hands on: a firsthand glimpse into Walther’s developmental process during the 1970s.
Originally created for German police units, the PP Super marked a shift in law enforcement sidearms. It’s chambered in 9mm Police, a cartridge designed to offer more stopping power than the older .32 ACP or .380 variants common at the time—without the recoil of full-blown 9mm Parabellum. It was a sweet spot for performance and control, especially for officers who needed something both safe and effective.
And speaking of safety, that decocking lever? That was a big deal back then. With a simple flick, you could safely lower the hammer without firing a round—something that helped set the PP Super apart from other carry pistols of its day. Paired with an ergonomic grip (thumb rest included), this pistol wasn’t just built to shoot well; it was designed to feel right in your hand.
But this prototype isn’t just about function—it’s about legacy. The design captures that classic Walther vibe: clean lines, understated confidence, and practical engineering that doesn’t scream for attention but earns it anyway. Holding this pistol, you’re not just handling a firearm. You’re holding a piece of industrial design from a transitional moment in European law enforcement history.
Whether you’re a serious Walther collector, a fan of Cold War-era sidearms, or someone who appreciates rare prototypes that tell a story, PP Super V1006 belongs in a collection where history matters.
