    I do know that West Germany was prohibited from making fire arms for a period after WW2, thus they licensed the production to other countries (France and US being two).

    Here are some links I just dug up....haven't read through in detail...

    Walther PP - Wikipedia

    "Made in Germany" - WaltherForums
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    TC here is another article I found on the site below and this paragraph say's it all.

    They were the franchise holder for Walther pistols in the US and they had a manufacturing plant in Gadsden, Alabama where they made 40,000 Walther PPK pistols annually in 1985. (The PPK can't be imported due to the 1968 GCA.)

    Here is the site I found the info on.
