Well, he has now published a reference book compiling more than 20 years of research on SS-contract Walther PP and PPK pistols. Thanks to records captured by American military intelligence at the end of World War Two, a substantial amount of data survives on these pistols, which Tom and other collectors and researchers have used to identify the characteristics of nearly a dozen different specific contract purchases. <\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in collecting the specific group of pistols, Tom&#8217;s new book is an absolutely essential reference, placing all the information easily at your fingertips. At $50 for a relatively small paperback volume the price seems high, unless you consider how much it will assuredly save the first time you can use it to identify a good deal or spot a fake. While there is not a huge value proposition here for the mildly interested person, it is an excellent reference for anyone planning to acquire even just one of the pistols it describes.<\/p>\n<p>Availably directly from Legacy Collectibles:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legacy-collectibles.com\/060921-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.legacy-collectibles.com\/060921-1.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or through Amazon:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3juaVlW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3juaVlW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
