Hitlers Walther PPK?

Post by 5th Horseman » 08 Nov 2010 22:51

I've seen one very fancy PPK with "AH" on the grip that belonged to Hitler.
I've heard he used a PPK to commit suicide.
Whose weapon did Hitler use to commit suicide?
What happened to the weapon after Hitlers suicide?

it is only a myth that he used a Walther PPK or PP, he was known to carry an old model Mauser . 25 cal at all times, nothing fancy, not gold plated or even engraved, .... just a plain old pocket model Mauser

The OSS writes he also owned a hand crafted British pistol which he liked most to be used in practicing. He was very scared not to receive anymore the special calibre of ammunition. Goehring one time said he'll buy him some packages in London.
