Nazi Kriegsmarine Radom P.35
 

I have a question about a Radom P.35 on Gun Broker, being that I'm new to collecting and my knowledge is limited on Radoms.

Is the Kriegsmarine stamp on this Radom for real, it doesn't look like it was stamped, looks more like electro pencil. I could be very off on my evaluation and would like to know what the experts think. Other wise the pistol looks in great shape. Hears the link http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIte...Item=132399110

Also what would be some good books on Radom pistols?

The e/M mark looks fake. The WaA77 looks real to me
(German WW-II Heerswaffenamt inspector's mark on arms produced by Erma·Werke, Erfurt, Germany and for the Polish VIS model 1935.)
Not sure about the WaA623 (German WW-II Heerswaffenamt inspector's mark on arms produced at Steyr Daimler Puch AG, Steyr, Austria.)
The holster markings are a very poor fakes IMO.

I'm with Juha on this. Looks like someone ruined a nice Radom by attempting to add an E/M with swastika. The swastika is missing an arm and the top arm has enough scribble to make the missing arm.

Actually, the more I look at it...I agree with the electro-pencil...Just *too* sloppy for CNC engraving...the circle is very good; the eagle so-so; the Swastika and M are poor...definitely not a stamping...and the marker didn't even bother to fill in the marks with cold blue...

The holster is even more amateurish...The marker didn't even have a letter stamp...

What's even more distressing is that the mainspring housing is cut for a stock!!! This Radom was worth a good deal before it was defaced!!!

...My unexpert $.02...

Some Mauser 1934 have an Eagle over M (?) pantographed on the frame, grip(?), and demand premium. Simple straight forward 1934 goes a few hundred, but those E/M easily goes $1500.

No idea. Too risky to jump onto this "special mark" ship. It's simply too easy to be faked. My amateur one Italian Lira worth thinking:)

On the NaAPCA web site, John James posted a picture of his Nany marked Radom holster.

The markiings on his holster are different than the ones on the holster in the GB auction.

This guy also just sold a Navy Luger.
