Yes, the magazine number matches. Thanks for the information. Any idea what its worth? I bought it yesterday foe what I thought is a good deal.You have a Hungarian Femaru M37 chambered in 7.65mm/ 32acp that was made in 1941 for the Nazi Luftwaffe. I have two of those. Cool little guys, that are well made, easy to field strip, but with only a fair trigger. Holsters for them are rare and expensive. I love those WWII Femarus.
Is it numbers matching? The mags were also numbered to the pistol.
I don't have my Blue Book handy and more photos would help, but I guessing $900-$1300. You don't find these very often in good condition with matching mag. One with two matching mags sold for over $2k on GunBroker a few years ago.Yes, the magazine number matches. Thanks for the information. Any idea what its worth?

Looks like there's one on the left side of the slide, maybe partially scrubbed.Any waffenamt markings? .
I googled that. That is exactly what those markings appear to be. They are just really small.Looks like there's one on the left side of the slide, maybe partially scrubbed.
Cool. FEG Model 37, supplied to the Nazis in 9 Kurz and in 32 ACP to the Hungarian military. But, you have the manual safety and jhv markings that are more typical of the German variants. Any waffenamt markings? That might be a somewhat unique pistol if in 32 ACP and accepted by the Germans.
I have a Femaru M37 in .380 that was manufactured in 1941 and at some point in it's life it was chrome plated.

Probably because .32 was the defacto standard police caliber in Germany for many years. Would have been alot more ammo floating about in their stocks than .380.The designer's name was Frommer. It is my opinion that he had a thing for the 1911. Look again at that pistol ... it looks much like a scaled down 1911 , grip safety and angle , trigger and so on.
Also , the ergonomics are very good for a small frame.
The Lufftwaffe crews preferred small sidearms for practical reasons - airplanes tend to be cramped. The "Femaru" was carried as well as PPKs. I've never understood why , when ordering FEG to produce a modified 37M for the Wehrmacht , the Germans specified a caliber reduction from 9mm kurz to 7.65. You are fortunate to have a numbers matching magazine , they got swapped a lot.
Very nice.
