FYI guys, there were a VERY limited number (Wikipedia says 27) of Vis pistols made ca. 1992 "for collectors," complete with Polish Eagle and dated appropriately. Apparently, some original machinery still exists at F.B. Radom, now known as Lucznik Arms Factory. I was offered one by the importer for the low, low price of $1800.00. (Retail was $2000.00.) In retrospect, maybe I should have coughed up the money. LOL (I did end up purchasing a pair of consecutive numbered Vanad P-83s from him.)

As an aside, while not a native design, Nagant gas seal revolvers were produced at F.B. Radom from about 1930-31 until 1935. Like pre-war Eagle Vis pistols, they exhibit first rate workmanship, the equal of or better than German.
