This sturdy and well-made pistol was produced by Walter Munk who had a small gun shop in Suhl (Germany) where he repaired different weapons and also assembled the Neumann-Original-Centrum-Pistole for his uncle Franz Neumann. In 1935 a new pistol was designed: the Centrum II (2). It was a second design by Neumann and soon became a popular model as several German shooters used it in competitions, including the famous german target shooter Erich Krempel. He scored a new world record in 1939 with his Centrum 2. During WWII production stopped, but Munk resumed it in 1951, when his uncle\u2019s firm\u2019s name became his own \u2018Fa. Walter Munk\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/em>In 1958 his company was nationalized and became part of the East German \u2018B\u00fcchsenmacher Handwerkgenossenschaft\u2019, short for B\u00dcHAG<\/em>, for which it is still known today. The B\u00dcHAG <\/em>(Centrum 2) was for a long time the only German-made Scheibenpistole available after WWII. Munk died in 1977, after which Wolfgang Weiss ran the business until his untimely death. The last Centrum 2 pistols were proofed in 1981\/82.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
