The Femaru 37M, also known as the FEG M37, was adopted by the Hungarian military before WWII and later contracted by the Germans. It's a blowback-operated pistol, originally in .380 ACP (9mm Short), designed by Fromer and based on an earlier 1929 design. The Hungarian version featured a grip safety but no manual safety, while German contract versions included an external manual safety and were chambered in .32 ACP. The pistol is noted for its robust construction, nice finish, and somewhat unusual appearance, with wooden stocks featuring a distinctive checkering pattern.

This video provides a slow-motion examination of the Frommer/Femaru 37M pistol. It details the firearm's lineage as the final design by Rudolf Frommer, its single-action blowback operation, and its chambering in .380 ACP, with a mention of a .32 ACP variant used by Germany that also included a manual thumb safety. The description highlights its adoption by the Hungarian military in 1937 as a replacement for the more expensive 29M, noting that the 29M itself was a scaled-up version of the Frommer Lilliput. The video aims to showcase the mechanical aspects of this historical firearm.
