Here is a Browning High Power I recently aquired from a gentleman who is slowly selling me his militaria collection. It is marked with the WaA103 proof stamps.

Gorgeous ! I Love it ! !
Nice, early occupation model with tangent sight. I say 'early' because
this one still shows a certain level of quality workmanship.
Later models were finished very poorly.
This type of adjustable sight was phased out on later models
to speed production, and they also discontinued
the magazine safety.
Regards,
Steve.
Thank you Steve. Yea I kind of like it too!

It's quite a rare one, Josey !
Hope you don't mind me adding mine to your thread...................
First, a pre-war Belgian Army P-35. Second, a mid-production
( '42-'43 ) occupation model 640(b) with plastic grips.
As you can see by this one, the finishes got worse
as the war progressed.
The High-Power was firearm genius John M. Brownings last design.

Steve.
Steve, your two pistols look very nice. Condition looks to be excellent on them. Thanks for sharing them.
