For sale is a FB Radom Vis Model 35 Type II three lever semi-automatic pistol in 9mm. Serial number- L0594. This pistol is in good condition and comes with a magazine. All visible serial numbers on the pistol appear to be matching. 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. The Nazi army eagle/swastika firing proof and "eagle/625" are stamped on the left side of the slide behind the nomenclature and barrel, and the "eagle/WaA77" German army acceptance stamp is located on the left side of the slide and frame.

The original right side grip panel is missing however it was replaced with a wood panel that appears it might have "Trench Art". The diamond pattern the grip appears to be handmade with unstraight lines and uneven diamonds. The aging/wear of the panel also appears to correlate with the age of the gun, so we believe it is unlikely it was added to the pistol later by a post-war owner (Although it is possible it was added later). It's not hard to imagine a German soldier carving/cutting the diamonds into the grip panel with a knife after the original grip broke. This pistol also does not show any import marks, so it was also likely a war trophy returned to the US by an American soldier.

Referred 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.
