Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Walther PP (German: Polizeipistole, or police pistol) series of pistols is a line of blowback-operated semi-automatic pistols developed by the German arms manufacturer Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen. It features an exposed hammer, a traditional double-action trigger mechanism, a single-column magazine, and a fixed barrel that also serves as the recoil spring guide rod. The series includes the Walther PP, PPK, PPK/S, and PPK/E models. The Walther TPH pocket pistol is a smaller caliber pistol introduced in 1971, identical in handling and operation to the PPK. Various PP series are manufactured in Germany, France, and the United States. In the past, the PPK has been manufactured by Walther at its German factory, and under license by Manurhin in France, Interarms in Virginia, and Smith & Wesson in Maine. Since 2018, PPK and PPK/S models have been built at the factory of US-based subsidiary Walther Arms, Inc. The PP and the PPK were among the world's first successful double-action semi-automatic pistols. Walther still manufactures them and has been widely copied. The design inspired other pistols, among them the Soviet Makarov, the Hungarian FEG PA-63, the Polish P-64, the American Accu-Tek AT-380 II, and the Argentinian Bersa Thunder 380. The PP and PPK were both popular among European police and civilians for their reliability and concealability.

During World War II, they were issued to the German military (officers), including the Luftwaffe, as well as the uniformed Ordnungspolizei and plainclothes detectives of the Kriminalpolizei. Walther's original factory was located in Zella-Mehlis, Thuringia. As that part of Germany was occupied by the Soviet Union following World War II, Walther fled to West Germany, where they established a new factory in Ulm. For several years following the war, the Allied powers forbade any manufacture of weapons in Germany. As a result, in 1952, Walther licensed production of the PP series pistols to a French company, Manufacture de Machines du Haut-Rhin, also known as Manurhin. Manurhin made the parts, but the pistol was assembled either at Saint-Étienne arsenal (marked "Made in France") or by Walther in Ulm (marked "Made in West Germany" and having German proof marks). The French company continued to manufacture the PP series until 1986.
