SOLD - Very Rare Kriegsmarine Radom VIS 35

Description

3/30/23 - This is a nice example of a very rare Radom VIS 35 issued to the Kriegsmarine during WW2. It is all matching and of the 3-lever variation. Blued barrel visible through the ejection port. No lanyard on the butt of the frame. There is an "N" Navy property marking on the front strap, and there was a Navy "Eagle M" marking on the left side of the frame that was ground. It is estimated that only about 1,000 Radoms were made in this particular Navy configuration. The vast majority of the Navy-contract pistols were not property marked. It has retained roughly 80% of its original high polish finish with noticeable thinning on the grip straps, general high edge wear, wear around the muzzle, and spotty wear along both sides of the slide. Fitted with excellent period-correct black bakelite grips. Comes with a period-correct waffen-proofed magazine. The bore has decent rifling, but there is pin-pricking throughout.
