Originally the main sidearm of Poland's military, the VIS-35 was rebranded the P35(p) and pressed into service by the Germans following their invasion and occupation of Poland. While chiefly made in Poland using Radom's plant, Steyr was involved both in a supervisory role and in parts supply, before also making complete P35(p)s on their own. Production was relatively limited, with records destroyed by aerial bombing and the Soviet occupation of Austria, but it is believed that full pistol production at Steyr only took place in 1944-1945. Only the latest production Steyr P35(p) pistols used the "bnz" marking style, essentially making it the "last ditch" variant. Overall features are consistent with late war Radoms, with the takedown hook and stock notch eliminated. Fixed sights, with "bnz", "eagle/swastika" and a faint Waffenamt proof on the left side of the slide, a faint "eagle/623" on the left side of the triggerguard, and "eagle/swastika" and "eagle/623" on the left side of the barrel lug. Matching numbers are present on the right side of the frame, underside of the slide, and left side of the barrel lug. The magazine catch, slide stop, grip screws, rear sight, decocker lever and ring hammer are all blued, the latter properly configured with a notch for the decocker for takedown purposes. Grips are ribbed hardwood, with a blued magazine.

Very fine, with 80% of the original gray phosphate finish, with mild spotting and edge wear overall, tool marks around the rear sight, a thumbprint-sized patch of mild pitting on the right rear of the slide, and minor handling marks. The blued components retain 80% finish, with bright wear and minor spotting. The grips are very good, with chipping concentrated on the right side and some minor dings overall. Mechanically excellent.
