Walther Experimental Hybrid Olympia/Woodsman
This video examines a Walther experimental hybrid pistol from the early 1930s, created to compete with the Colt Woodsman. Walther modified an Olympia target pistol by incorporating a Woodsman-style grip angle to test its effectiveness. Ultimately, Walther decided to stick with their original grip design, making this hybrid a historical dead end. The video highlights the differences in grip angles between the two popular pistols of the era and the experimental nature of firearm development.
