My Fabrique National - Browning and Belgian Army weapon collection

[paco]

Hi there,
I'm new to this board. I'm a lisenced gun collector in Beligium and a proud foundingmember of the Belgian Guncollectors Association (BVVW vzw, Belgische Vereniging Van Wapenverzamelaars)BVVW vzw, Belgische Vereniging Van Wapenverzamelaars

I'm looking to get all Belgian-Dutch gun collectors in touch with each other.

I'm still looking for all FNC rifles, AK5, Pindad SS1 ...
Also FN machineguns like .30 Minimi, M240, SCAR, F2000 in working condition.



























FNC proto types

This must be the bigest collection I ever saw in Belgium.
Are you also in the military?

Grtz,

I'm in the army reserve.
I'm collecting since i'm 18years old.
Nope, this is not the largest collection, not even close.
We have members in our association with 1000+ weapons.
But however, i'm very happy with the items i have. Including the one millionth handgun made by FN, given on a galaevent to J M Browing in 1914 (31january)
to Ingrid patrouille, I do have spare WO1 lee enfield rifle with the cut away option still installed. you can contact me if interested.

I have a few friends who also collect fireArms, but I never saw so many millitary mg's and rifles from FN toogether in one room(except our Arsenal).

Very Very nice collection.

Grtz,

impressive collection love the typewriter

[paco]

The typewriter is an FN model. It was recovered from an WW1 fortress near Liege (Belgium) that was bombarded
You can see the FN logo. It was cleaned and most parts still work.
The pistols are more interesting to me.
including:
the one millionth FN handgun
FN 1934 Highpower oval port prototype
highest recorded German FN 1922 with waffenambt stamp
Belgian army FN1922 cutaway instruction pistol
some lunchbox pistols
original FN1900 silver chromed pistol

Very nice collection I was still in the canadian military when are standard infantry weapon was still the FN C1 A1 assault rifle and the FN C2 A2 these have got to be one of the toughest and most durable weapons that I have ever used and found them to be rock steady under the worst field conditions.I myself onley own one FN and thats the SAFN 49 IN 3006 mine is a Belgium contract rifle. She is one of my favorites and has a low serial number in the 14xxx range

The FAL rifle is indeed a great piece of steel!
In the early 50's it was a revolutionary good battlerifle (still is)

some pics of the FAL i have or had in my collection.
I realy love the cutaway instruction Belgian Army model dated 1954
