Apparently, for one reason or another, the grip molding equipment was not available, most Steyr production has wooden grips, with curved grooves. They are the most commonly seen Radoms.Īfter Radom was "liberated" (actually captured by another brutal dictatorship), Type III Radom production was moved to Steyr, in Austria. Type II and III guns go around $700-900 in top condition, around $400-500 in average shape. Instead of using it to lock back the slide for takedown, the hammer drop lever is pushed down so its tail rests in a notch in the hammer. Type III (Group 4) has the dismount lever removed. Type II (Group 3) has the shoulder stock cut eliminated and some other changes, including elimination of the grip screw bushings. It also has the mainspring housing cut for the (never issued) shoulder stock. The one's manufactured for the Polish Army from 1935 to 1939, had a much higher quality than. It was the standard pistol of the Polish Military prior to WWII. Type I (Group 2) has the slide stop, hammer drop lever (on the slide) and the dismount lever, so it is sometimes referred to as a "three lever" gun. Polish Radom pistols have always been very collectible pistols VIS (sometimes called a 'Radom') is a very well designed handgun based on the John M. The designation P.35(p) was given to the Radom by the Germans. The single line marking, without the Polish eagle, was used during the Nazi occupation. A Polish writer calls them all "Group One." These are variously called simply "Polish Eagle" or "Polish Eagle, Nazi capture". The same gun, with German markings added (indicating it was in the factory or depot and was captured) can bring even more in top condition. These can bring up to $3000, depending on condition. The first pistols, made before the German takeover, were marked on the left side of the slide with a fairly large Polish eagle on either side of the eagle are two line markings - F.B.Radom over the date on the left, and "VIS-wz 35" (name of pistol and "Wzor" (model) 35) over the patent number on the right. The pistol does also have the sholder stock slot, so maybe the pistol had just rolled of the line when the Germans came in and they just stamped it with the waffenant? It does seem to also have the Polish Crest, maybe, I am not sure exactly what it is see pic #2. There is also the P.35(p) on it so I assume it is certainly German. There is the Spread wings with the WaA 77 underneath. The P.35(p) makes it definitely German, along with confirmed Waffenants.
Yours is at the better end of the spectrum especially if those marks are not German. It isn't polished, but it has all the controls and is a well made pistol.ĭifferent "experts" have different methods of defining the grades.
