Walther Olympia: Germany's Interwar Target Pistol
The Walther Olympia, introduced in 1925, was Germany's answer to the Colt Woodsman, designed as a serious .22 LR target pistol. It evolved through three main patterns (1925, 1932, 1936) with significant design updates, including variations in sights, ergonomics, and barrel weight systems. Early models featured unique elements like an integrated screwdriver, while later versions incorporated more refined features for competition and handling, with production ceasing in 1944.
