A friend has given us the captioned firearm for inspection/evaluation. Any help in defining/refining its' origin and intrinsic value, if any, would be appreciated. From an initial visual inspection, it appears to be in 80++% condition.

I'm not sure how, if at all possible, to include/attach pictures to this forum post, but we can do so through email, as needed.

Bottom line ... is this model, as factually stated, a keeper? If someone can ask specific questions regard features that are present on the firearm, other than what we have stated, please let us know and we'll determine accordingly.

Additionally, what would be a fair market/sale value in today's (i.e., 2009) environment?

Thanks. Guns USA

  You might try GOOGLEing "Radom Pistols", much information is available on the net.
  
  We can't help you without quality photos.

  Wow! That's some question! If you enter "Radom" on the auction side, there's probably enough info there to get you going. Read the narratives to find the different variations of this Polish pistol made before and during the Nazi occupation.
  As far as being a keeper, I would keep it to match all my others.

  StormTight...IMHO all Polish Radom's are "keepers." The Germans highly respected these pistols and continued their production long into the war. Many of the Radom's appeared in the hands of the feared SS which got many of the best weapons in the German military. You don't say what you have but check the slide and if it shows the Polish Eagle you have the rarest of the Radoms, a prewar. It will also show the date beside the Eagle, 1936-1939. These pistols have skyrocketed in value over the last several years as they are so scarce. But without photos, hard to tell about value. Ballpark for a non-Eagle Nazi Radom is in the $500-800+ range, depending on condition. Polish Eagle could bring as much as $3500+. Original Radom holster with the doublemag pouch can go for $300+. Good shooting!
