This video explores the Yovanovitch Model 1931 pistol, designed by Lazar Yovanovitch. The description details Yovanovitch's background as a Serbian engineer who developed .22 and .380 caliber pistols, none of which were adopted by the Yugoslav military. Despite this, his .380 caliber pistol saw international competition use in 1933 and the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The narrative also covers his brief WWII service, escape to Switzerland, and eventual emigration to Canada, where he constructed one final Model 1931 for personal use.
