The Fabrique Nationale (FN) Browning Model 1922 pistol bears the distinction of. (Note: All prewar Model 1922's with serial numbers below 200,000 show contract. The M1922 is a blowback operated pistol; there is no mechanical lock. Matching serial numbers. Slide is marked: FABRIQUE NATIONALE D'ARMES DE GUERRE HERSTAL BELIQUE and BOWNINGS PATENT DEPOSE. The bluing is thinning but good, showing holster wear. Has it's original factory phosphate finish FN Browning marked magazine (holds 8 + 1 in the chamber).

I recently aquired a Nazi WWII pistol for $150. I had it taken to a gunsmith to make sure the gun was functional, and when I got the gun back what I was told was something like this: 'This is an FN manufacture of the Browning 1922 in.32auto. Hindi tv serial mp3 ringtones free download.

Everything's in great working order; it's rare to see one in such good condition and with so much of the original blue. It's also rare to find one with all-matching serial numbers like this one. I would keep it in a glass case and never fire it.' Apparently it's one of however many the Belgians made for the Nazis after the capture of FN, and it's got the little eagle-holding-swastika-with-numbers-underneath stamp in several places in addition to the serial numbers. So yeah, do y'all think this gun is worth collecting or can I shoot it? It's the first used gun I've bought, and the first one that looked collectible. It would also be the first one I got that I couldn't immediately go out and have fun with.

Any thoughts? **EDIT** Here's links to some photos, I can't figure out how to post pictures here directly. I'm particularly interested in what's in the third picture. The eagle-holding-swastika is a bunch of places on the gun, but that similar symbol with the numbers underneath is only found there (although stamped several times).

It doesn't bear any relation to the serial number that I can see. I recently aquired a Nazi WWII pistol for $150.
