"Phantom Import" Walther PP Super 9mm Kurz Commercial Variant, One of 28 Not Officially Released

Extraordinary Walther PP Super chambered in 9mm Kurz (.380 ACP), one of the rarest production variants of the PP Super family. Manufactured in West Germany during the 1970s and produced in extremely limited numbers compared to the standard 9×18 Ultra police models, the .380 ACP version occupies a special place in advanced Walther collecting. The absence of import markings further enhances its desirability, preserving the pistol's original commercial appearance and suggesting private acquisition rather than large-scale commercial importation.
Developed as Walther's next-generation police sidearm, the PP Super combined the legendary PP-series double-action system with a strengthened design capable of handling more powerful cartridges. While the 9×18 Ultra version saw limited police adoption, the .380 ACP variant was produced in far smaller numbers and is seldom encountered on today's collector market.
This is Ultra-Rare Walther PP Super in 9mm Kurz (.380 ACP), one of approximately 1,300 produced. Retaining its original West German configuration and lacking commercial import markings, this exceptional example represents one of the scarcest postwar Walther service pistols. Long believed by collectors to have entered the United States through private acquisition by American servicemen stationed in West Germany, no-import-mark PP Super pistols occupy a special niche among advanced Walther collectors. Combining rarity, originality, and historical intrigue, the 9mm Kurz PP Super remains one of the hidden treasures of postwar Walther collecting.
