Actually, some Radoms were indeed issued to the German Kriegsmarine. This information is in William York's excellent and detailed book "VIS Radom." I did an article on the the Radoms which appeared in the September, 2012 issue of Dillon's Blue Press. You can get it by calling Dillon at (602) 223-4570 and asking for that back issue. I also did an article on the Astra 600/43 and its history which will be in a future issue.
You're right, my bad. They're so rare I forgot they existed. I did a quick flip through Axis Pistols second edition by Still, and they're not even mentioned, which is probably because little is known / they're so scarce.

Nice collection!
Thank you. I enjoy collecting different types of guns rather than all S&W, or all WWII or all Colts. My gun collection is like a potpourri of guns.
