Does anyone know where I can find information of the Dayton-Walther Corporation and especially about the founder and the family? I've visited the library in Dayton and they don't have any more information than what I can pull up on line.

Thanks,

Mark

I was involved with Dayton Walther Company in the early 1980s when there was a large number of the Walther family involved in the firm & living in and around Dayton.the The family homestead had been preserved for corporate entertaining purposes. The family claimed distant relationship to the manufacturers of the the Walther PPK revolver. I would be surprised if they had all fled to San Diego, so it would be worth doing a bit of local digging.
