Walther in turn used Manurhin (France) as a subcontractor for many years, when it was forbidden to produce pistols in Germany.
Thanks. Now it's a better business.

How can those companys like Century, Cherry, B-West, KFS (?).... still import those surplus in like crazy these days? mainly from Eastern Europe, originally prepared for the 3rd World War, now all dumping here with import mark.

[Edit] Sorry for the above. I was a little bit upset to hear this. The bright shiny image of Interarms the Great, collapsed in my mind for half an hour Not a problem anymore. Now my mood returns to normal.
