The Carl Walther firm has a long history of Weapons production and the 2001 Safari Press book “Walther-A German Legend” by Manfred Kersten covers everything about the family and the firm and their products very thoroughly except for the side by side shotgun which we will elaborate on here.

The following is from the Shooter’s Bible Treasury, Second Edition-1970.

The following pages are from a copy of the Walther reproduction catalog.

The well known author Mr. James (Jim) Cate has very generously allowed us to use the following information and the images of a mint condition Walther side by side.

The following images of a higher grade Walther side by side was found in Dietrich’s digital archive.
