The story I got was this gun came from this collection. Stories are stories so that is just BBQ information.

Brig. General (Ret) Sidney Christiansen (A.K.A. Sid Christie) was a deputy chief of the U.S. Army Ordnance during the time of design of M-60 machinegun and .308 cartrige. After he retired worked for the U.S. Navy in San Diego, where became a very popular between gun enthusiasts and competitive shoters. One of the very rare pistols he brought after WWII from Europe ended up at the Smithsonian. It is .45 Polish combat pistol Wz.35 RADOM (A.K.A. VIS). General issue RADOM was in 9mm; only a five .45s were made for the evaluations.
