New grips for my Radom VIS

After contacting SEVERAL grip manufactures and custom grip makers, only one company was willing to make a pair of grips for my Radom VIS.
That company was Hogue.

The folks at Hogue were very friendly and did a fantastic job.
I highly recommend them. :)

Beautiful job! Copies of the originals are available from several places, but they are not nearly as nice.

So what is "cool" next? The Communist hammer and sickle? A picture of Bin Laden? Carrying a copy of the Red Book or Mein Kampf?

It is one thing to accept that collectible guns can have the markings of an evil and murderous regime; it is another to go to trouble and expense to put them on a gun.

Jim,
What I meant was that, "aesthetically", I thought the medalions turned out pretty nice.
I'm sorry if I offended you.

Looks nice, had never heard of this gun, is it rare, affordable, etc? What are those controls, like a safety and a decocker or something?

Thanks SPUSCG.
The following link provides a little history of the gun.

There are several variations of the Radom VIS.
Those manufactured prior to German occupation are more "refined" and, I believe more rare, thus more expensive.

What are those controls, like a safety and a decocker or something?

The controls on my VIS include an extended slide release, decocker, and a take-down catch.
The take-down catch was ommitted on later models in an effort to speed up production during later part of WWII.
