eister anufaktur Finest Craftsmanship MY NEW WALTHER. Exactly the way I wanted it: Unique. Outstanding. Unmistakable. The newly established Walther Master Workshop ( Meister Manufaktur in German), headed by experienced master gunsmith Matthias Schulzendorf, makes firearms that are absolutely unique. Working closely with his customers, Schulzendorf (portrait on p. 4) builds one-of-a-kind guns that bear his engraved signature and the famous Walther ribbon logo. Anything is possible, whether it is an air rifle stock made of figured walnut burl, a PPQ frame with a Cerakote coating and matching holster or a pistol with an exclusive hard chrome finish. The options also include sophisticated technical features like custom-tuned triggers for service pistols, alternative functional elements or special sights. By developing a relationship of trust with his customers, Matthias Schulzendorf is able to produce a result that when finally completed is nothing less than my Walther. As a longtime Walther employee, he knows everything about production at the company. He is familiar with the machinery and can always draw on the know-how of his colleagues at the factory. But the master craftsman, who received his training in the famous gunsmithing town of Suhl, is always ready to add his own personal touch or give practical shooting tips.

eister anufaktur Finest Craftsmanship INTRODUCING: MATTHIAS SCHULZENDORF. Master gunsmith. Age 37 and a master of his trade for 14 years: Matthias Schulzendorf can look back on an unusual career. His father was a hunting outfitter with his own store in northern Germany. After completing vocational school in Suhl, a well-known center of arms production, he immediately went on to become a master gunsmith. During this same time, he worked in weapons maintenance while doing military service. But after completing his training as a gunsmith he decided not to return to the family business. Instead, in 2002 he joined Carl Walther in Ulm first in final inspection at the shooting range and then in production of the P99. Later he helped to develop the Walther PPS, where he focused on practical tests and improvements. In 2005, after the company relocated from the center of Ulm to the new factory, Schulzendorf helped to establish the new department for assembly of the PPS. And then in 2015 the management asked him to head the Master Workshop an idea that had long been discussed and was now ready for implementation. Schulzendorf loves to practice with large-caliber firearms and is active in the company s shooting team, which is a member of the BDMP, a large Germany s target- shooting association. The experience he gained has served him well as a maker of fire arms and provider of advice to customers.here you see him checking out the flawless walnut stock of the LG400.
Dazzling effects A real attention-getter: This aluminum air rifle stock will have inlays of Swarovski rhinestone on the sides. The color has to be just right, of course. Here Schulzendorf is comparing two samples.

This may depend on a number of factors that are not under the workshop s control, such as the current order intake, the need to procure special parts or the time required for delivery by external finishing companies, such as those that provide Cerakote coatings. Finally, you will be notified that your new Walther firearm has been completed. We ll carefully pack it, insure it and send it to your dealer to be picked up.
