Very rare 9mm Walther

[Darth 44]

I`m back with the translation

Not exactly the tech info I`m looking for
but still something new to learn.

"As you may remember I`ve written an article
about Walther pocket pistols for Strelecka Revue
magazine.There were several photos in the article
Two of those photos show Walther Model 6,a gun
produced in really small quantity.
As a reminder let`s have it said that the
internal design of the Walther Model 6 is
patterned after earlier Walther models 3 and 4,
the only differences being dimensions and the
cartridge the pistol is chambered for.The Model 6
is essentially Walther`s reply to military
authorities` demands for more semi auto pistols
firing 9mm Luger cartridge.In default of such
weapons during WW1,Walther built a gun which was
supposed to be an adequate partner of the
Pistole 08.However,a blowback pistol chambered
for the 9mm Luger failed to raise interest of the
army and was rejected.
It turned out that just scaling up the dimensions
and fitting a stronger recoil spring was not
the way to satisfying results.Total production of
the Model 6 was one thousand,and because they are
so seldom seen nowadays I`d like to present these
two photos here on my website."

Some words from the original Czech text couldn`t
be found in the pocket dictionary I have used,
therefore I had to make one or two guesses.

Interesting site btw. Have you seen that folding
stock for the Luger? Really ingenious and looks
good too.IMO it would look even better attached
to an Artillery Luger,wouldn`t it? <img border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" title="" src="graemlins/drink.gif" />
