browning nazi pistol gun show buy

[rajko84]

This does not happen very often but I got another nazi pistol. This one did not come with a mag so if somebody has one I would be interested. And holster too. But it is all matching and the bore is in mint condition. No rust. I do not know too much about pistols so any help would be appreciated. And how much it would be worth in this condition? Thank you in the advance.

its a FN 1922 FN stands for the Fabrique Nationale printed on the side of the barrell,worth about 300 to 450 in my opinion.I believe alot of Luftwaffe pilots used these

And it's a Belgian gun used by the German army, not the Nazi's. To be an official Nazi you had to be member of the Nazi Party and only a small number of German soldiers were member of the party.

That is what I meant. Here in US when we say with Nazi markings we mean with eagles (used by German millitary), not that they are party members.

As said above, it's a FN Browning Model 1922 (or 1910/22). These pistols were produced between 1922 and 1959. Upon the occpation of the FN plant by the Wehrmacht, this pistol was chosen to be kept in production (along with the FN HP35) and, until the FN liberation in September 1944, more than 360,000 FN 1922 pistols were delivered to the German troops.

Oficcially, this model was named by the Germans as Pistole 626(b) - for guns chambered to .32ACP - or as Pistole 641(b) (.380 ACP).

Nice addition.

And to add to the excellent information above, this pistol, in this condition, is worth something around $300-$400, per the latest edition of Peterson's Standard Catalog of Military Firearms.
