Model 1937 Fegyvergyar Hungarian designed by Rudolf Frommer. Originally introduced in the short 9mm caliber(.380 auto) but in 1941 the Germans ordered the gun(50,000 of them) using the same pattern but in calibe 7.65 mm aka .32 acp. These were for(supposedly)issue to the Luftwaffe. The very first production was a clone of the original except for the caliber, but the Luftwaffe took issue with several features and asked for design changes. The first was the change to(addition of) a conventional safety catch. It was added to the left rear frame behind the butt grip. The slide markings were changed from the "Femaru Fegyver es Gepgyar RT37" to P.Mod 37 Kal 7.65' with the German acceptence stamp "Waffenpruf" There is also a maker's code of 'jhv'. The production of the pistol, in its second form and under a second contarct continued until 1944 After some 85,000 were produced and as the war deteriorated, most wartime weapons production tended to decrease in quality finish simply was not as nit picking..this pistol is an exception(for the most part)It is rank as one of the worlds extremely fine pistols and the late war versions were a more solid pistol than the general run.it is pleasent to shoot and quite accurate. Bear in mind that accuracy for a small handgun is measured in feet and group sizes of less than 12" at 15 yards as opposed to rifle measured in 100's of yards and MOA groups..You may find a magazine at www.triplek.com...Remember...the name and discription of your firearm..BY ME...is my best guess with the info given..It could be a differnt firearm..so order your magazines from Triple K with a phone conversation where exact markings and discription can be given!
