About MKEK Kirkale 1948
The Kirrikale pistol was a copy of the German Walther PP pistol, made in Kirrikale, Turkey, during the late 1940s and early 1950s. It was available in both 7.65mm and 9mm Short calibres. This is an example of the latter type. It was seized from the National Liberation Front - a Yemeni insurgent group, which waged a campaign of terrorism to end British control of Aden, and to forestall British attempts to incorporate the colony into an independent 'Federation of South Arabia'. This insurgency created what became known in Britain as the Aden Emergency of 1963-1967.
