Manufactured in 1938, the VIS-35 Pistol was the standard sidearm of Poland, and following the invasion and occupation in September 1939, it became a secondary arm for the Wehrmacht. The pre-occupation pistols show a level of fit and finish not seen on the ones produced for the Germans and bear the Polish Eagle on the left side of the slide between the model, date and patent markings. Fixed sights, "F.B. RADOM/1938r." and "VIS-wz.35/pat.Nr.15567" on the left side of the slide, and numerous small proofs on both sides of the trigger guard. Matching numbers are present on the frame, the underside of the slide, the rear of the barrel lug and the left side of the extractor. Equipped with a takedown catch and a slotted back strap for mounting a stock and fitted with a pair of checkered grips marked "FB" and "VIS" on the left and right side respectively.

Excellent, with 90% plus of the original blue finish, showing bright wear on the contact surfaces and leading edges, a few scratches on the grip straps, and mild spotting overall. The grips are very fine, with a few scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent.
