Walther 1936 Olympia Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Back when I was involved in education I came to the opinion that all secondary school students should learn and practice the Olympic Modern Pentathlon: not the one that is currently performed at the Olympic Games where the real pistols have been replaced with dinky little laser pointers, but the original one. In order to successfully participate in this event a student would need to learn how to swim well, run with endurance, fence with an épée, ride a horse over obstacles, and shoot a pistol. This was an event that did far more than just build physical fitness, it taught mental discipline, it taught how to stand your ground, how to build a relationship with and control an animal that has a mind of its own and is stronger than you, and the fine coordination that all accurate shooting requires. This was one of the Olympic disciplines for which the Walther Olympia pistol was created.
