Hello again.
Re post 4 of this thread.
It will be noticed that the reference to the Walther PPK in .380auto is taken from the book " Dutch " written by someone called Morris.
A net search raises several questions as to the accuracy of details given in this book. At one point it is implied, that several of the characters were invented and that these had imaginary conversations with real characters in order to give legitimacy to the text.
Given this reservation and the fact that reference to the Walther comes only from the books footnotes, could anyone provide any other confirmation that Ronald Reagan did own the Walther?
Thank you, Pete.

Dutch is written as an historical novel due to to fact the author Edmund Morris had difficulty getting useful information from Reagan (he was notoriously secretive and even family has been quoted as saying they never really understood him), apparently he wrote it this way to make it more readable to the average person. From what I understand, the basic facts are true but some conversations and situations are dramatized.
