The MARS .25 inspired me to post my Polish VIS-35 9mm pistol. So the history here is clear and really cool. This is a pistol that time essentially forgot. Poland developed their own 9mm pistol in 1935 and unfortunately for them the Nazi's invaded in 1939 and realized this was such a good pistol they took over the factory and began making this pistol for the Wehrmacht, but?! because this pistol had been previously made they had to stamp all of the parts on the current pistols. The underground stole parts and assembled the guns outside the factory. Being caught with the gun or Nazi stamped parts was a death sentence, as a result in several instances on trains and in buildings when stopped by the Gestapo the underground saboteur's decided to shoot it out killing several Nazi agents.
