Type I Nazi Radom, mfg 1940. Serial number should be 4 digits with an A,B,C or D prefix.

Too bad about the condition, they get pricey over 95%.

While I don't know what all of the markings mean, I neverless know a little bit about the gun. The Radom model 35 was a Polish gun, patterned after the 1911. After the Germans occupied Poland in 1939 they pressed it into their own service. It is a very well made and robust pistol, it chambers the 9mm Parabellum cartridge.
