Pair of WWII Capture Pistols

Jack Lawman · 05-08-2003, 09:03 PM

Here are a couple of WWII capture pistols (M1908 is papered, Radom isn't). The Steyr M1908 was made in 1910 and was purchased privately from Steyr, most likely by an Austrian Army Officer (no Austrian army acceptance stamp). This .32 ACP pistol was a favorite of Austrian officers. Here is a link to my 1908 page:

The Radom Vis35 is a type II (3 lever, no stock cutout). Made in Poland under German occupation. Apparently, many of these were carried by the Luftwaffe. Estimated time of production is late 1942.
