This video explores the WALAM 48, a Hungarian-produced pistol that served as a direct copy of the Walther Model PP. Originally developed by Fegyver- és Gépgyártó Részvénytársaság (FÉG) as the 48M police pistol for Hungary after WWII, it later found an export market. In 1957, a deal was struck with Egypt under General Nasser for a version of the 48M, named WALAM 48 (standing for 'WAlther- LÁMpagyár'), chambered in 9x17mm (.380 ACP). Although 10,000 were ordered, the contract was canceled before completion, leading to some pistols featuring an Egyptian crest and others with blank slides. The video also briefly mentions the Tokagypt TT33 copy.
