Value help - trade for a Vis P.35 Grade II

BerlinerLuebecker · Aug 3, 2012

Would appreciate any/all help on this, guys. This pistol might look familiar if you're a fan of gunboards, but it was offered to me as a possible trade (+ cash on my end) for a Finn rifle. Assuming the decocking lever is found, what would be a fair market value for this Grade II? I don't know much of anything about Radoms, but I've always wanted to add one to the collection. Thanks in advance and I hope my question is kosher!

Can't see your pics. Getting an Error 404

Whoops. Fixed!

Forgot to mention that it has all matching numbers. Is the bluing too dark, or is that simply the picture?

Not sure about the finish (pics are not great), but the grips are wrong...

Wasn't sure if that might be a "grade" difference. So they should be the familiar logo-ed grips?

Yes, the plastic logo'd grips were used until later in the second alphabet series (1945). The wood grips on this one are post-war. Steyr made wood grips are very different with grooves cut into them.
