Polish FB Radom VIS 35 – 9mm – XLNT w/ German Occupation Stamps – VIS35 – C

This is a no reserve penny auction for an FB Radom VIS 35 semi-automatic pistol in 9mm. Serial number – F7757. This pistol is in great condition for its age with an excellent bore. It includes one magazine. The left side of the slide is marked "F.B. RADOM VIS MOD. 35. Pat. Nr.15567/"P35 (p). The serial number is located on the right side of the frame above the trigger. Multiple WaA77 (Waffenamt 77) stamps are seen, as well as National Socialist German Workers' Party markings.

Refered to as the 35 vis by the Polish, production began at the Fabryka Broni arms factory in Radom, Poland in 1935, and was adopted as the standard handgun of the Polish Army the following year. The pistol was valued by the Germans and towards the end of the war issued to German paratroopers. Largely based on John Browning’s Hi-Power and using 9mm, the Vis is highly prized by collectors.
