Guns made for Polish military in 1935-1939 also had shoulder-stock mount on the rear of the grip. The lever on the rear of the left side of the frame is a disassembly (takedown) latch. Gun has no manual safeties: instead it has grip automatic safety (like the 1911) and the frame-mounted decocker. WiS vz35 is a recoil operated, locked breech pistol that used Browning linkless (Hi-Power style) locking principle. WiS vz35 externally is very similar to famous Colt/Browning M1911 design, but internally it is different.

Originally, it was manufactured in Poland by F.B.Radom factory. WiS vz35 stand for "Wilniewczyc i(and) Skrzypinski, model of 1935". The receiver, slide and barrel have matching serial numbers plus the shoulder-stock mount on the rear of the grip. After researching I found out that it was a Type I made from 1935-1939. I got my magnifying glass and found Nazi Proof marks. You know when you get older the first, maybe it's the second thing to go is your eyes. Later that night I was looking at it and saw some small marks on the slide and receiver. At first I didn't want it but when I heard the price I bought it.
