Manufactured by Fémáru Fegyver- és Gépgyár (FÉG) in Budapest during WWII, this 37M is configured to the Hungarian-service pattern without a thumb safety. It features a Hungarian military acceptance crest on the trigger guard and a circled "E" muzzle proof, aligning it with period standards.
The pistol is a blowback, single-action design chambered in .380 ACP (9 mm Browning Short), with a 7+1 capacity and a 4.3 inch barrel. A heel-style magazine release, external spurred hammer, and lanyard ring at the rear of the grip reflect its service-oriented layout.
Construction is all-steel with a blued finish. The slide includes a checkered top rib and vertical rear serrations for positive manipulation. Sighting is via a small front blade and fixed rear notch. Grooved hardwood grip panels provide a secure hold.
Markings include the slide legend "FÉMÁRU-FEGYVER-ÉS GÉPGYÁR R.T. 37 M." and the serial number location on the frame above the grip panel. The overall configuration and markings present a correct and compelling WWII Hungarian example.
