Manhurin is currently a trademark used by Manufacture d'Armes de tir Chapuis beginning in 1998, and located in Saint Bonnet Le Chateau, France.
Manurhin in France started by manufacturing Walther PP, Walther PPK|PPK]], and PPK/S model pistols since 1952. Previously, these guns were imported into the USA 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.
No current U.S. importation. During 1998, Chapuis Armes purchased Manurhin, and new revolvers are currently being manufactured in the new Manufacture d. Armes de tir Chapuis facility located in Saint Bonnet Le Chateau, France, utilizing the original production machinery.
