The Femaru 37M pistol is a World War II-era Hungarian firearm—a period in which the country was allied with Nazi Germany. Thus, despite its national origins, the pistols have Nazi markings and German-required features such as manual safeties. For more on this historic pistol, check out this "I Have This Old Gun" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman Television.
