Hey MichaelShane,
Is that a Radom?

 

[Michaelshane]

What's a Radom?

 

[rmrdaddy]

MichaelShane:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vis_pistol

Apparently also called a Vis, but made in the Radom factory in Poland after the German Blitzkrieg usurped that country.

It seemed that the safety was identical, but since it was based on the 1911, that may account for similarities.

So what is that pistol?

 

[Michaelshane]

It's a 1943 P.MOD 37 Kal 7.65.Made in Hungary for the German military.

I also have the original holster.

I don't intend to derail this topic too much, but I didn't feel the question deserved it's own thread:

Does anyone know of a good shaving supply store near Santa Cruz, CA? I recently started using a Gillette safety razor inherited from my grandfather and I want to get a nice brush to go with it. Thanks.

Keygrip,

Here are the Crabtree & Evelyn stores in California:
http://www.crabtree-evelyn.com/eng/stores/state/California

and here are the Art of Shaving stores in the US:
http://www.theartofshaving.com/taos6/locations.php?trk=footer

You should be able to find some decent supplies at either.
