Gehmann air pistols – who makes them

Perhaps I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m guessing Gehmann doesn’t make their own air pistols. I wonder if anyone could satisfy my curiosity and tell me who makes the air pistols or correct me and let me know that they make their own.
Also, what is the general sentiment about the 2 air pistols they sell under their own name.
Thanks!
Brian

If you are referring to the AP's listed on
http://www.gehmann.com/english_final/airpistols.php
then the G100 appears to be a rebranded SAM K15. The F4000 is really a rebranded FAS 609. The other AP's on that page are all clearly marked as either Steyr, FWB, Walther, Rohm, or Hammerli.

It's certainly Match Guns. Gehmann took over the german (maybe also the international) distribution for Match Guns at IWA-Gun Fair 2005, the italian company Cesare Morini now designs for. Because the "official" partner of Gehmann is Morini Competition Arm (Francesco will agree...) und to avoid any comflicts, they renamed the Match Gun Air Pistol, changed some details and voila, it's the new Gehmann.
The F 4000 was named AP 609 in germany, as far as I remember, and made by FAS, but it's certainly an entry level air pistol.
