Manufactured prior to the outbreak of World War II, this Model 1925 attributed pistol shows features of both the 1932 pattern Hammerless Target pistol and the 1936 Olympia pistol, both of which performed very well for German marksmen in competitive shooting. This pistol features a takedown lever built into an otherwise solid triggerguard, rotating combination safety lever and slide catch, a one-piece wraparound checkered grip, heel-mounted magazine catch and a very scarce magazine that is equipped with a spring-loaded screwdriver for adjusting the front sight. Contrasting the 1932, this example appears to have been refitted with a 1936 pattern concealed hammer, replacing the original striker with a large, rebounding firing pin, and the hammer installed in the frame. While the Olympia was in line to receive a definitive reference book from noted Walther author Warren Buxton, he passed on before the work could be finished; statements from the consignor attribute this pistol to Buxton's personal collection, to be photographed for the unfinished work. Adjustable blade front and drift adjustable rear sights, with "Walther's Patent" and the banner logo on the left side of the slide and the caliber markings and address on the right. A set of "crown/B/U/G" proofs are present on the barrel, slide and chamber hood, the former also bearing a "5,4m/m" diameter marking, a matching partial serial number on the underside of the slide, and a Walther banner on the left side of the grip. The magazine is numbered "9", with the on-board screwdriver extending out of the floorplate.
