Walther/Manurhin PPK

Saddam aims the gun at Adnan before killing him. If you look closely, you can see a 'Made in France' marking probably making it a Manurhin Walther.

In the first episode, the first gun that is clearly seen is a Walther PPK, although with markings along the slide which indicate it may have been made by the French outfit Manurhin under license from Walther.

The gun is used to preform 'executions' of 22 members of the Ba'ath party members and used by Saddam Personally to kill his best friend and ally Adnan Hamdani.
