The International (208) has probably won more matches than any other competition pistol in its class. In the late 1980s or early 1990s the production was stopped due to cost increases. Again, I am not an expert, but i was curious about the differences. Other models werethe 211, which was the 208 with regular grips and the hunting version which had regular sights cut into the slide.As far as I know the 215 is very similar, but has a squared triggerguard. All 208 models have target grips with an adjustable palm rest and a thumb rest. The Internaltional is also known as the Model 208 and 208 S, even though not all were marked that way. Improvements were made and after some model changes the Hammerli International was born. After the war, Germany was not allowed to manufacture weapons, so Walther made a deal with Hammerli in Lenzburg Switzerland to produce the guns. In 1936 Carl Walther introduced the Walter Olympia for the Olympic games, which insured many gold medals for the German Athletes. I am not a historian on guns, but Hämmerli nomenclature can be confusing. The box does not have the foam insert anymore, since it disinegrated about 15 years ago. It comes with the original serialized box and 2 Magazins, also serialized to the gun, original Manual. This is my personal Hämmerli 208 S which I bought in Germany when I was a boy. ![]()
