This pistol is one of 50,000 guns purchased in 1941 by the German government for the Luftwaffe. SN 6415
The Model 37 semi-automatic pistol was adopted by the Hungarian military in 1937, and remained in production until the late 1940s. When Hungary became a communist satellite of the Soviet Union, the Femaru Company (Femaru- Fegyver-es-Gepgyar R.T.) replaced Fegyvergyar as the official Hungarian arms manufacturer.
