Thank you for that British information lagopus.
Interesting that Belgian gun makers were producing sporting guns during the second WW.
Does anyone have any idea as to what was happening with French military contracts ?
The closest German made production date to WW II that I personally own is April 1936 on a Walther double.
I do believe that Wather only made those guns for about a four year period prior to WW II & then their plant went to military production.
There seem to be very few of those Walthers that survived Hitlers gun grab in Europe. Mine came though Papua New Guinea & must have gone there when still a very new gun. Quite a few German missionaries went to PNG in those days. One way to escape the dark cloud of impending war I suppose.
O.M
