Another post got me to thinking about this. Below is my stab at it--there are obviously some holes to be filled in, and I'm not sure of all the information.
PPK, NOT PPK/S
Manufacturer
1931-1945 Ulm, Germany
1940-1945 Other manufacturers during the war?
1953-1986 Ulm, W. Germany & Mulhouse, France (Manurhin)
Manurhin initially started producing the PPK pistols for Walther in 1953 with Walther beginning production some time later. As late as 1986, Manurhin was still making parts with Walther, Germany doing final fitting & finishing.
1986-Present Ulm, Germany
1986-???? Alabama U.S. for Interarms under Walther License
????-Present U.S. (S&W)
U.S. Importer
1953-1955 Thalson
1955-1968 Interarms
