WTK Info on the Walther Olympia

Hello Tacfoley,

What a shameful story that it ended up being destroyed. You should have tried to offer it on a forum, and I would have probably bought it from you. It is very rare to find an M1936 Olympia in its original case/box in near mint condition. After a long wait, I was able to acquire last month a M1936 Olympia Funfkampf pistol from Sweden (with its original M. Widforss receipt) which is probably the only complete set known to exist as of this time - I specialize in the M1936 Olympia, and that is the only complete matching set which I know. Does it make mine more valuable - I would say about double!!

Like most everything else, I reckon that the Olympia pistols will start to appreciate quickly as a few factors 'kick in'. It was a famous target (and hunters) pistol of the highest quality, and I hope that more collectors will develop an interest in this pistol.

Bulls-eye,
Albert
