Congratulations. A P-64 is my main carry gun. You may find that the 17lb main spring is a tad too light. If it is too light, the magazine will drop out occasionally (mainspring does double duty). Most P-64s I've seen do best with the 18lb spring (as did my first P-64). The one I've currently got actually needed a 16lb spring to make the DA pull just right. Each one appears to be a little different.

There is no "manufacturer's name". These were made by the Polish gov't in a gov't owned factory. Radom is the name of the town so that is what they are commonly listed as.
