    Hello-this is my FN 1922 that I picked up today (along with a Beretta M1934 and a Mosin Nagant 91/30)-was a long time getting the addition to my collectors license.

    This example was made at FN in Belgium under the German occupation-this type was designated as 'Pistole Modelle 626(b)'-it was the major product made by FN for the Germans with some 350,000 built, mostly for the Luftwaffe.

    The FN Browning M1922 was developed as a new service pistol for Yugoslavia, based on the M1910 model with a longer barrel and a larger pistol grip with resultant greater magazine capacity. It soon became a popular type with many armed forces and police forces throughout Europe before, during and after WW2. It was inexpensive and simple to make, reliable and easy to handle but was really just a pocket pistol using a low powered round-either the 7.65mm/.32 ACP or 9mm short/.38 ACP rounds. Production ran from 1923 to 1983.

    As this one is in very good nick, at some stage I'll try to get a good German production holster for it which will probably end up costing 50% of the pistol price-'C'este la guerre'.

    Excellent pistol, lithgow...A tiny correction though; the american/british nomenclature for 9mmShort/Corto/Kurz is .380 ACP...The greeks had nicknamed those "the pelican", after the long barrel/slide.
    Thanks for posting, best regards, Thanos

    Great pick up and in pristine condition. It's worthy of that nice Greman holster you plan to get.

    Hello-I bought a Xmas present for myself-holster for the Browning pistol-Krieghoff made and proofed (on the flap), mixed leather and ersatz compressed fibre construction-no WaA stamps though it's in the Luftwaffe style. From Checkpoint Charlies in the US-it arrived on my front door step in a cardboard box that I didn't find until late at night-unusually for this time of year it has been raining here until very recently and if I hadn't found it until next day it would have been soaked and likely ruined...

    Beautiful condition holster-the mixed materials makes it look two-tone in colour! Nice go-with for the Browning, for sure!
