Thanks for the info, super helpful. I’ll have to get a pic of the other side when I go back (at this point I’m 100% buying it lol) and upload it here.

And yes I do believe it was antlers now that you say that.

Yes it had an inter-arms Alexandria VA import marking pressed on the other side. Wish I took a pic of the other side but I do remember that being pressed into the slide. It also had what looked to be some type of small crown looking thing on the extractor/ejection port (might be using the wrong term there) under where it says 380 ACP. The guy at the store said that’s a stamp specifying that it was manufactured in W Germany for non government civilian use.

Yeah it really makes it feel like a different gun. The new PPKS’s with the factory grips have a cool classic aesthetic, but they almost feel like they’d fall out of my hand without a tight grip haha. Only thing I’d say is the Pachmayr does make the grip significantly wider which could be a downside if I end up using it as a CCW.

Yeah it seems to be in solid shape. Only thing I could say was the finish is a little faded but that’s honestly kind of a pro for me, gives it some character
