The pistols were available to all Politischen Leiters at a group discount price, not just senior officials. The contract with RZM markings began in mid 1934 but the marking was removed in 1936. The initial large portion of this contract bore the acceptance mark of the Reichszeugmeisterei-RZM. The NSDAP contracted with Waffenfabrik Walther to produce PPKs for the party organizations.
