Classic Belgian Army FN High Power Rig | Collector's Guide

What every SERIOUS GUN COLLECTOR NEEDS to know about the Belgian Military FN High Power. We have an absolutely STUNNING complete rig to review.
The Browning Hi-Power is a single-action, semi-automatic handgun available in the 9mm and .40 S&W calibers. It was based on a design by American firearms inventor John Browning, and completed by Dieudonné Saive at Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Herstal, Belgium. Browning died in 1926, several years before the design was finalized. FN Herstal initially named the design the "High Power", which alludes to the 13-round magazine capacity, almost twice that of other designs at the time, such as the Luger or Colt M1911.
During World War II, Belgium was occupied by Nazi Germany and the FN factory was used by the Wehrmacht to build the pistols for their military, under the designation "9mm Pistole 640(b)". FN Herstal continued to build guns for the Allied forces by moving their production line to a John Inglis and Company plant in Canada, where the name was changed to "Hi Power". The name change was kept even after production returned to Belgium. The pistol is often referred to as an HP or BHP, and the terms P-35 and HP-35 are also used, based on the introduction of the pistol in 1935. Other names include GP (for the French term, "Grande Puissance") or BAP (Browning Automatic Pistol). The Hi-Power is one of the most widely used military pistols in history, having been used by the armed forces of over 50 countries. Although most pistols were built in Belgium by FN Herstal, licensed and unlicensed copies were built around the world, in countries like Argentina, Hungary, India, Bulgaria and Israel.

My dream gun is either a Hi-Power or C96 with an original stock. Great video!

How can I get a similar piece

[@forcasespeciaisgamers844]

Friend, I'm not able to find out the age of my browning. It is from the T377808 series. It is Belgian and has a symbol that is oval and has a crown. You could help me?

Wow, what an amazing set! It's too bad the replicas don't really match these, the leather scabbard is quite different, and the current wood board stocks have some poor fitment and the recessed rivet holes. I also noticed the wood on the replica is quite pithy
