In 1932, Walther made 10 custom long-barreled PP pistols for the Swiss target shooting community, sold through Glaser in Switzerland. These pistols had 127mm (5 inch) barrels chambered for .32 ACP, a fine satin "Verchromt" finish, extra checkering on the front and back straps, and a gold-plated trigger. Very fancy!
