Research notes
The WADIE name dates from 1919 when the company was found by Walther Diefke with the registered trademark of “WD”. Later the name changed to Wa-Di which later became WADIE. The company in its current form was established as a family run business in 1962 in the northern Bavarian town of Bischofsheim a. d. Rhön as DIEFKE WADIE MUNITION. They manufacture mainly non-lethal blank and CS gas type cartridges in various calibers.
8 X 25 SCHULER GAS PISTOL
This case type was first made by Geco with brass case for the Schüler pistol from the 1930’s, but the aluminium cased examples are of post-war manufacture by Diemuni and Wadie for the Wadie and HS 4 pistols. Red is for gas and blue is for blank.
