The Beholla pistol was developed by Becker & Hollander. During World War I, it was a secondary military pistol used by the Imperial German Army. It was manufactured from 1915 until 1918, where, at that point, about 45,000 were produced.
After the Great War, the firm of Waffenfabrik August Menz of Suhl continued to produce the Beholla as the Menta.[1]
From 1921-1932, the company, Franz Stock Maschinenbau und Werkzeugfabrik, manufactured an improved version of the Beholla pistol that saw use by police agencies in Germany and Austria.[2][3][4]
