Rare Early Commercial Walther PP "90-Degree Safety" – Pre-War Collector Grade

An exceptional early-production Walther PP Commercial pistol manufactured during the first years of PP production, circa 1929–1934. Distinguished by the highly desirable 90-degree safety lever, early commercial features, and pre-war craftsmanship, these pistols represent the foundation of the legendary Walther PP series. Early examples equipped with the original 90-degree safety are among the most sought-after variations by advanced Walther collectors due to their limited production and distinctive transitional characteristics.
Featuring the original commercial high-polish blue finish, Crown/N commercial proofs, matching serialized components, and correct early finger-extension magazine, this elegant pistol exemplifies the superior workmanship of the Weimar-era Walther factory. Early PP pistols are recognized by collectors for their unique combination of the 90-degree safety, and early slide markings, features that were gradually changed as production evolved.
The 90-degree safety system was an early design characteristic later replaced by the more familiar 60-degree configuration around 1935, making surviving original examples significantly scarcer than later commercial and military production pistols.
