SOLD – EXCEPTIONAL NAZI viz35 RADOM PISTOL…… EARLY WAR PRODUCTION F BLOCK MINT CRISP STUNNING EXAMPLE

In 98% mint crisp condition, we have an exceptional example of an early war Nazi occupation production Polish Viz35 Radom Pistol.  Pistols in this block are very interesting because they still have a fairly high polish finish but are usually not slotted and this is also the first block where the reddish grips start to appear. This pistol serial number F2777 is early in the “F” block and would have been made out of completely out of non-leftover Polish pre War parts.  This pistol is all matching as has a mint bore, as you may know they were not actually completely assembled at the Radom plant in Poland but assembled as parts kits complete except for the barrel, they were then shipped to the Steyr Plant in Austria for assembly with a Steyr made barrel, hence the reason that you see the Radom 77 waffenamt and the Steyr 623 stamp which is found just on the barrel and the final assembled pistol on the slide.  The reason for this was in order to keep complete pistols from being stolen and used against the occupiers.  Today we would call it Gun Control.  The Poles who made this pistol suffered terribly under the Nazi German occupation and many were hanged for the slightest offense.  The Radom Viz35 Pistol is one of my favorites and is considered to be one of the most elegant semi auto pistols ever conceived.
