Gents,
recently acquired 2 Browning 1922 pistols. Both are in pretty nice shape, all matching and both are WaA'd. One came with an original dropping style holster and 2 waa'd mags and the other a post war american holster with plain browning mag, wood grips on both. The first has serial # 370**b and the second 1997** with no letter suffix. I thought it was strange to see 1 with and 1 without a letter suffix especially when you get into 6 digits. Any info that can be provided as to approx date of production would be helpful. Will probably part with 1 and I guess would look to keep the earlier version,
Thx ESU
Pistols of the German Wehrmacht. The FN Browning M1922 was a very popular pistol in many Armies and Police forces. Serial numbers: 20000. Browning 1922. Fn 1922 Pistol Serial Numbers A Prefix. I understand that wartime serial numbers continued into aprox 155,000 under German occupation.
