7/19/24 – This is a Walther PPK from 1937. There is a name a date on the frame which reads “Hans Fiedler 1937”. The person matching the inscription is reportedly, Kapitanleutnant Captain Hans Fiedler. He was a noted U-Boat Commander that served in the German Navy, joining that service from 1936 to late July 1944, when he was lost at sea on U333. Captain Fiedler served on U-Boats during the war, initially on U120 that was assigned to the U-Boat Schulflottille, (Feb 1942-Sept 1942) then on U564, from Oct 1942 to Jun 1943, with three patrols (114 days at sea) to his credit. Then on U998, during Jun 1944 with 4 patrols, over six days, and then on U333 from 23 July 1944 to 31 July 1944 when that boat it was reported lost at sea. During his service for the German Navy, he was awarded the Iron Cross, 2nd and 1st Class, The U-Boat War Badge 1939, and the Fleet War Badge. Unfortunately there is no definitive proof that ties this pistol to the U-Boat Capt. Fiedler. It is matching and has retained roughly 70% of its original finish. Noticeable wear along both sides of the slide. Mint bore. Small crack in the spine of the grip.
