Help on finding value of VIS radom model 35. Waa77 model

Looks to be an early war first-alphabet gun, German-manufacture (under occupation), with possible left-over Polish made parts.

Does it have a letter prefix or is it a pre-alphabet gun?

Edit - Judging by the black barrel, probably a pre-alphabet gun, possibly issued to Kriegsmarine (without the markings)

$1500+
 
Thats a nice Radom, good call on the blued barrel Squadron 303, providing the barrel is correct and not redone or replaced these early ones are hard to find.

These are the first guns manufactured by the Germans when the factory at Radom got going again, using pre-war parts. The fit and finish is almost as good as the pre-war Polish Eagle guns.

Yours is a very early pistol, I can tell by the legend on the slide. The very early ones almost look pantographed. The slides in the later pistols (10,000 and then A-prefix) look more uniform (rolled).

The blue barrel is 100% authentic. It is thought that the blue-barrel guns were issued to the Kriegsmarine.

My estimate would be $1500-2000, depending on the condition of the pistol that we don’t see (barrel, rifling, etc).

Also, that grip is probably a wartime replacement. A lot of these guns have a broken RT side grip, probably from how the gun sat in its holster. Authentic Bakelite grips are still available for purshase. I still have a few spares (sorry, not for sale).

Let me know if you want to know anything specific, I could probably go on for hours.

Nice gun. I’ve owned at least two of the pre-A guns.

Here’s one of my threads on another wary gun, a C-prefix.

I appreciate all the info. Im not very well versed in military surplus firearms.
 
Squadron 303 is one of the best resources for Radoms, so I'd go with his valuation. Problem is, you may only have a week or two to sell it as the push is on for C-21.... Or keep it in your safe and wait for PM PP to fix it all.
