| Radom VIS-35
Radom VIS-35
Introduced in 1935, the 9mm Luger Radom VIS-35 was the standard pistol to the Polish Army. After the fall of Poland the Radom Arsenal was captured intact by the German forces and the production was reassumed. Lots of VIS35 pistols were delivered to german troops, where they were highly apreciated. Production went on until 1945.

Do you have anything else? | You mean guns or militaria (medals, soldbuch, etc...)?

| Mauser 1914
Mauser Model 1914
Although a WWI design, the Mauser Model 1914 (chambered to 7,65mm Browning) was still very popular among German troopers during the WWII. This particular one, according to some papers, was taken from a Luftwaffe Officer, while he was being attended by Allied Medical Corp.
Also shown are the original holster (with the standard brown color), another Iron Cross and the beautiful Luftwaffe Anti-Aircraft Badge.
wishes,
Douglas. | |

| MAUSER HSc
Issued in 1939 as the successor of the old Mauser 1914/34 series, the HSc was a very attractive (and eficient) pistol, with a highly modern design. Chambered mainly for 7,65mm, it was used by Army officers as well Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe soldiers. It was the Walter Nowotny´s sidearm.
This was was made very late in war (probably one of the last one made) and has a parkerized (phosphate) finish, which gives it a "greenish"-look!
Also shown are the Iron Cross 2nd Class and the Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze.
