Vis wz. 1935: Standard Polish issue Vis with decocker, take-down latch and shoulder-stock slot. Excellent quality, rust-blue finish. Slide markings (two lines): "F.B. Radom", year of production, Polish Eagle, "VIS wz. 35, pat. No 155567".

I have a 98% 1938 Polish Radom pistol with stock lug and beautiful matching holster, no stock. All original matching. I am looking for some assistance to price this rig. I have been made an offer however I think it is low. Could one of you knowledgeable collectors give me a hand.

Thanks,
Jerry

I would guess that it will bring something in the $2500 range. The earlier (prior to 1939) guns are highly desirable.

Is the holster German or pre-war Polish?

Orv, Maybe you can answer something else for me...I have several P-38's. Swiss HP's I think. Walther Banner. Really excellent condition. Black plastic grips. I have yet to do any research on them....Also a few wartime P-38's but I am mainly interested in finding out about the HP's. Simpson has one with target grips he is asking 25 grand for....Let me know if you have any thoughts. Thanks, Jerry Burney

Charlie, It is pre war Polish, Double mag pouch along left side, sorta boxy. Jerry Burney

Jerry,
I think Orv is pretty close. I sold my 95% Polish Radom about 5 years ago for two thousand without a holster! Those original holsters are a bit pricey now.... around $500 - $700. With inflation I think $3000 would be a little better.

Jerry,

The P.38 available from Bob Simpson is in .30 cal and very rare. It is a single action P.38 and I have personnaly examined the gun at the most recent Lousville show. Most likely a "target" pistol made up in the late 30's by Walther when they were also selling commercial guns.

There were also .30 guns in the typical P.38 configuration that sell for $18,000. FGS has one for sale. The single action P.38's have a slightly larger frame.

These are classic P.38's but it seems to me that no one is going to pony up that kind of cash for a P.38...... Now if you have an AP pistol that is totally different!

Mark, Thanks for the clarification...The three I have for sale are 9MM so I guess I won't be asking 25 large...
Twenty five thousand AND you have to shoot expensive ammo...What a World! Jerry Burney
