Original Item: Only One available. This is a lovely service used German WWII Holster for the Polish Radom Pistolet wz. 35 Vis, widely used after German invasion and occupation of Poland during the wars leading up to WWII. It is faintly marked under the top flap with bnz 1944, indicating manufacture by Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG, Werk Steyr, the legendary Austrian arms company. This was one of the three makers of these later war Radom holsters, the other two being "grz" Gebr. Kruger Krueger, Lederwarenfabrik and "gaq" Otto Stephan, Leder- u. Lederwarenfabrik. Under the maker mark it is stamped with P 35 (P), the abbreviation for the German designation of the pistol, Pistole 35(p).

The holster is made of soft brown leather, has a pocket on the front for a spare Radom 9mm magazine and has two belt loops to rear. It also has the "ejection" strap built into it, used to help pull the gun out of the holster. This example looks to have seen long service, and is quite "broken in", with some small tears in the leather, and overall wear. The stitching is loose in some areas, particularly around the tops of the belt looks, where it is in very delicate condition.

Just what you need to pair with a nice Radom pistol!

The FB Vis (Polish designation pistolet wz. 35 Vis, German designation 9 mm Pistole 35(p), or simply the Radom in English sources) is a 9×19mm caliber, single-action, semi-automatic pistol. Its design was inspired by American firearms inventor John Browning's 9mm "Browning GP" pistol which was completed after Browning's death by designers at Fabrique Nationale in Herstal Belgium. Production of the Vis began at the Fabryka Broni arms factory in Radom 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 the Colt 1911 and using 9 mm rounds, the Vis is highly prized among collectors of firearms.
