Offered in both (6-round ) and (7-round magazine) calibres, it remained in production until 1983. It incorporated the standard Browning striker-firing mechanism and a along with a magazine safety and an external safety lever (known as the 'triple safety') in a compact package. This location became the standard in such future weapons as the and Russian. Introduced in 1910, this pistol used a novel operating spring location surrounding the barrel. Since Colt did not want to produce it, Browning chose to patent and produce this design in Europe only.
Before, his designs were produced by both FN in Europe and in the United States. Best regards, Marcel.īrowning M 1910 disassembled The FN Model 1910, also known as the Browning model 1910, was a departure for Browning. I have been checking for a holster already yes but so far I didn't really figure out which exact holster should go with this pistol? I actually think that many 7,65 mm pistols were carried in similar holsters, right? Thanks for your time.

So if I understand correct it's the WaA stamp which tells a specific time-era? Or can, because of the serial number a more accurate dating be done? It's sad that these antique weapons are demolished like this but unfortunately that's just how it is Because of this I can't say if it shoots with the magazine removed. Mine came from Germany and has the trigger mechanism blocked so I can't shoot the pistol. Thank you gentlemen for your replies! Unfortunately here in Europe in many countries one can only have de-activated guns (purely as decorative objects). Does your pistol has the mag safety (remove the magazine and check if it fires)? Regards, Douglas. My guess is that yours was made in early 1943, before the Germans started the a-block suffix series. They were very popular with the Wehrmacht and many were used by Luftwaffe aircrews – their drop holsters fetched prices around 200.00 when in good condition, and wold be a nice addition to your pistol. FN 1922 pistols with WaA140 inspectors marks were made between mid-1941 and September 1944 (when the FN plant was liberated by the Allies).
BTW: These are very good shooters if you care to give it a try. I am always on the lookout for nice numbers matching example like yours.Īt one time these were just about the most popular pistol with the European police departments and were still in service in some locations up into the 1980s. These used to be at the low end of German used WW II pistols but that is pretty much over and I have noted substantial price increases over the past few years. There were substantial numbers of these produced and your example appears to be in very good condition with considerable original finish remaining.

Yours is a typical late war WA 140 code Model 1922. FWIW, the designation of the the Browning guns imported to conform to the GCA of '68 were called Model 10/70. FN Model 1910/22 Serial Number Curios and Relics.
