Manurhin in France has been manufacturing models PP, PPK, and PPK/S since 1952. Previously, these guns were imported from 1953 by Tholson Co. of San Francisco, CA, and from 1956 by Interarms out of Alexandria, VA. In 1984, Manurhin imported their new models directly and they were marked Manurhin on the left front slide assembly. This differs from the previous Walther stamped guns. Also, no Interarms logo appears on the right side.
