A small shoe repair shop was the nucleus and thus the Walther company was born anew. History repeated itself as Fritz Walther, like his father before him, was left with nothing. By the end of the war Walther had supplied around one half (580,000) of the 1.2 million guns produced up to that time.Ī thin folder with design drawings and the rights to more than 80 patents were all that Fritz Walther was able to save from the turmoil of the war. So the Ordnance Department (“Waffenamt”) decided that the P38 also had to be produced by Mauser in Oberndorf and by the Spreewerke in Berlin-Spandau. But Walther wasn’t able to supply the large quantities that the German armed forces requested. This pistol also exceeded all expectations and became by and by the successor of the Luger 08, the former ordnance sidearm. The public authorities in particular were very much interested in the PP and PPK, but the pistols were also in high demand in civilian circles.Īll that remained was the military sector, which Walther supplied with the legendary P38 model. Both models proved perfect from the very beginning, and are still produced today. A compact design, PPK, followed two years later.
