Re: FN Browning Hi Power (GP35) Pistole 640(b) holster
I think "Red" (Red inside) grips are later commercial? Not sure, but there's a well worn set on eBay right now, should someone need a set. I'll see if there's enough natural light to "shoot" mine today., and if so post what I think is a very fine example.

Steve,
....The wood grips do have red lacquer on the inside......
Mark, it did look re-blued, but it's still a nice HP ! The red painted
grips are likely from the 1960's-70's. They are painted to
prevent gun oil and moisture from seeping into the
wood and staining them black.........

Re: FN Browning Hi Power (GP35) Pistole 640(b) holster
Thx much, I think it's pretty amazing. I've had a lot of Third Reich pistols, but I'm really partial to this one. Some of it I think is the incredible history behind the Hi Powers. Used by more armed forces at one time or another than any other pistol ever made, during the 20th century, anyway. Also the fact that it was used by both sides during the war is certainly a distinction in itself.

Could you post a link or provide the item number
for the worn grip set ? Either of us could be
interested in them.........!

Thanks. ( U.S. shipping only ! ) These are not WWII era, but would do
as a good replacement set until an original pair could be found.........
