A Brief History of the Marque
Walter G.m.b.H. in Mühlhausen & Thüringen built motorcycles from 1903 to 1942.
Motorcycles produced prior to WWI were sold under the Möve marque which were fitted with Fafnir singles and twins.[1]
The Möve was also produced by Walter in the late 1930s.
Jeane Herveu, one of the first women to race, rode a Walter with an OHV Buchet engine in the 1903 M.C.F. Concours in France. An example of this machine, possibly the same one, was part of the Guélon Collection.

Notes1. Walter exported motorcycles under the Iduna brand according to peterzimmermann.de, but thus far no other record of Iduna has been found.
