In 97% mint sharp condition, we have an extremely rare and rabidly desirable Variant 1940 dated Walther PP Pistol as issued to German Railway Police Service, still with one matching magazine and the Ultra Rare Railway marked holster and even rarer Railway Service Belt & buckle. This would have to be the ultimate Nazi Railway Police Pistol Rig; we know of none finer! The 1940 Reichsbahn Dienst Variant is one of the few known that was issued with a matching numbered magazine and they are much rarer than the SS issued variant.
These Reichsbahn ordered pistols have 3 special features; specially numbered slide and magazine, and they are dated 1940 on the slide, and this is a textbook example. Certainly, one of the rarest Wartime Walther Pistols to obtain!
The Wartime reputation of the Reichsbahn and especially its security apparatus is rather notorious, aside from it’s main duties of guarding the railway system and its property from partisan attacks and providing security screening of the passengers, they were complicit in the transport of Jews and others to the concentration camps and participated in guarding and loading these people onto the trains and preventing escape.
