Nice VIZ 35 Paladin, and an informative post. I have wanted one for a long time but have not found an example of an early one in good enough shape for my tastes at a price that I thought was fair. I might recommend a new book to all that are interested: VIS Radom, A Study and Photographic Album of Poland's Finest Pistol by William J. York. This is a new book from Wet Dog Publications that was just printed last year and is very well done.
