They were marked RZM for the purchasing branch who procured equipment and materials for the Third Reich. In German this was the Reichzeugmeisterei. RZM marked examples were only issued to high ranking Nazi party officials. There is also evidence that some of these pistols were purchased by the Sicherheits Hauptamt of the SS for issue to members of the Sicherheitspolizei units and the SD. The PPK was considered at the time to be the "Rolls Royce" in development, in pistol terms and was a prized and treasured sidearm of the owner. Interestingly, there were strict regulations as to which rank Political leaders could carry their pistols with certain uniforms.
