Wonderful information, Joe - thanks for sharing your hard work and research with us. It sure would be interesting to see one of these EG PPK's show up some day, as I wonder how they are proofed? Do you think they would have had the Police acceptance marking on them? My one and only PPK is an E/C police gun.
I just picked up a wartime Walther PPK and was looking for a little information on it. Walther banner and information on slide. Only has serial numbers on slide and frame. Eagle over N on chamber, slide, and barrel. Matching numbered magazine marked on floorplate with number 1. Black one piece grips with Walther banner.

When I go home tonight, just for kicks, I will look at my gun's SN to see if it happens to be anywhere near the EG range. Also, I find it interesting to see that for purposes of writing the letter of May 29, 1943, the RSHA had available to it the list that was attached to the letter. Seeing that RSHA had records available for this particular issuance of weapons makes me think that, more than likely, RSHA had records of EVERY single PPK (and/or other weapon) that it ever procured.
I wonder what happened to those records? Maybe they are yet to be discovered in the U.S. Scott, the other post I made of the response from EG C listed approximately 60 or 70 pistols that were from the master list of this post.
As I indicated in that other thread, all but a dozen or so were listed in the Red Book. But those twelve with recipients name were not. So you can add them to the Red Book. Other than those numbers from EG C, all of these numbers are unlisted on the Red Book. Alan, perhaps those lists are not in US archival possession, but instead in the archives of the former USSR. Besides the above PPK serial numbers issued through the RSHA Arsenal to Einsatzgruppen units in 1941, the source of the Red Book material contained small notices of shipment and delivery. Such is this notice dated May 21, 1940 indicating the shipment and delivery of 10 Walther PPK pistols and accessories to the Commander of the Security Police and Security Service for the District of Lublin in the General Gouvernment.
The pistols were numbered 249 175 K through 249 183 K and were shipped each in what seems by description to be a standard Walther pistol shipment: standard carton with aluminum cleaning kit containing cleaning supplies and a manual. In addition, above the list of pistols is total inventory of the shipment of material to Lublin: 10 pistols, 10 reserve magazines, 10 cleaning rods, 30 training cartridges (3 @ pistol), 10 BLACK leather holsters for a PPK, 10 shoulder holsters for a PPK (complete) and 2500 rounds of 7.65mm ammo (250 rounds per gun). This document provides an interesting insight into the shipping practices of the RSHA and the fact that black holsters were specified in May 1940, even though the RSHA inventory cards in use at that time did not specify color.
