The photo on the handle is very interesting and appears to be a 1940's era photo.
You have a treasure there. It's an early Radom with the Polish Eagle on the slide, made in 1937, before the German invasion in 1939. These pre-war examples have the best finish and are highly desirable collectibles. The photo under the plastic (non-standard) grip piece does appear to reflect some 1940s-era women. If only the gun could talk! The magazine appears to be one from a German P.38.
