A Walther PPK-L manufactured in 1966. In the 1960s, Walther produced the PPK-L, which was a lightweight variant of the PPK. The PPK-L differed from the standard, all steel PPK in that it had an aluminium alloy frame.

[3] Fleming adopted this suggestion, giving Bond a PPK in the novel Dr. No (1958). The choice of the PPK directly influenced that gun's ...
Due to the PA-63's popularity and relative durability, FÉG later issued models using .32 ACP and .380 ACP caliber rounds, the FÉG AP7.65 and PMK-380 respectively. [1] The AP7.65 is almost identical to the PA-63 except that it is chambered in 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP) and is anodized not two toned.
The P-64 was drawn from a competition for a new service pistol issued in 1958.
