At the very beginning of its existence, the company Walther primarily manufactured hunting rifles. A major breakthrough occurred in 1908 - in this year, the company began producing pistols. The year 1929 was also pivotal, as this was when the popular police pistols Walther PP Polizeipistole began production. Perhaps even more famous was the Walther PPK Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell. The company, however, has many more famous models to its name.
