Extremely Rare Late Production "bnz" Code Polish Radom Semi Automatic Pistol with Holster and Extra Magazine

As the war progressed the Nazis were somewhat desperate to crack out arms for the war and began to cut corners in order to do so. The finishes and grips got cruder, markings and proof marks were eliminated and parts left off. The "bnz" code Radom is such an example of a rare late war variation. This pistol is simply marked with the serial number on the right side of the frame and "bnz" on the left side of the slide. There is a Nazi "eagle/623" proof mark on the upper left front of the trigger guard, repeated on the left side of the slide, as well as a Nazi firing proof. The pistol has a phosphate finish, the slide safety was eliminated and the grips are crude serrated hard wood. Integral blade front and "v" notch rear sights, grip safety, lanyard ring on the heel and blue unmarked magazine. Complete with a brown leather flap holster, ink stamped with a Nazi eagle proof and boxed "bnz 1944/P 35 (b)" on the inside of the flap.There is a magazine pouch on the front of the holster with a extra unmarked phosphate magazine. It is the opinion of the vendor that most of the Radoms were issued to SS/Police formations as evidenced by archived photos, which show Waffen SS troops wearing them. The adjacent occupying areas to Steyr (bnz plant lactation) were the main retreating plants for most of the retreating SS formations, it would be highly likely this was SS issued piece.

ConditionExcellent. The pistol shows the signs of its correct late war manufacture,ie crude milling, and finish, and retains 98% plus original phosphate finish, with normal usage wear on the forward portion of the slide and frame, and under the decocking lever. There is some minor spotting on the slide hold back lever. The grips are excellent with a few minor dings and nicks and show very little to no wear. Holster is excellent with some flex cracking on the flap, clear markings and tight stitching. A must have for any WWII German collection. As a bnz marked Radom is one of the rarest production pistols of World War II, you probably won't see another example of this quality for a quite while.
