Radom Vis wz. 35 / Vis Model 35 / Vis 35 9mm Type II Waffenamt-Stamped Pistol w/Holster
Description: The Radom Vis wz. 35 (aka Vis Model 35, or Vis 35) was a Polish combat pistol designed by Piotr (Peter) Wilniewczyc and Jan Skrzypinski. The pistol was based on two of John Browning’s most famous designs, the 1911 and the High Power. It was a rather interesting design for the time (patented 1932) in that it featured a slide mounted de-cock lever, a slide lock, and a frame mounted takedown lever which had the appearance of a manual safety. Having three levers is rather unusual for most firearms. The pistol was originally named the “WiS” as combination of its designer’s names, but it was later changed to Vis, meaning “force” in Latin. Official production of the pistol began in 1935, and it was adopted as the standard sidearm of the Polish Army the following year. Thusly, it became the first military-issue pistol to be used against Nazi German troops when Poland was invaded in 1939. As was done later with the FN Herstal factory in Belgium, the Germans took over the Radom factory and production of the Vis 35 was continued, as the Germans considered the pistol to be of good value, similar to the High Power. The other reason the Vis 35 was used by the Wehrmacht (especially later in the war) was to make up for the shortages in available military-issue pistols due to the German industry’s inability to produce as many examples of the Walther P.38 and Luger P.08 pistols as were needed. In German service the Vis 35 is known to have been issued to the Kriegsmarine (German Navy), the Fallschirmjager (paratroopers), and the Feldgendarmerie (a type of military police). Nonetheless, Vis 35 pistols continued to be used by the Polish underground against the invaders. Many were smuggled out of the Radom factory by various means, in some cases with two pistols having identical serial numbers to fool German record keepers. Essentially, one pistol would be issued to its intended German unit, while the “duplicate” was smuggled from the factory; this ensured there would be no “missing” serial numbers from the shipments. The Vis 35 shown here is a Type II (#2) Occupation pistol. The Type II indicates that the slot for the shoulder stock has been eliminated from the grip, but the pistol still retains all three levers. From the Type III onward, the takedown lever was removed. This Type II was most likely made at some point in 1943. The pistol features all the usual Waffenamt acceptance stamps, such as the Eagle-77, the Eagle-623, and (sadly) the Eagle over swastika. Overall, it is in very good condition. The pistol has some minor finish wear and very light pitting in spots. The bore is in superb shape with no pitting or rust. The grips are in excellent shape with no visible cracks. The de-cocker works like a charm. The sights are very easy to pick up quickly. The pistol comes with two magazines and German P.38 holster (originally for the Walther P.38). With one of the magazines, the slide stop lever moves upward enough to lock the slide back on the empty magazine (when the slide is operated by hand), but it does not fully fill the notch in the slide. This is not an issue with the other magazine. If you are a collector of German military pistols, the Vis 35 is one of the harder examples to find. Do not pass on the chance to own one of these superb pistols.
