A very nice waffenamt marked piece. I read that some where near 100,000 were put into Germany service. I love HP models but do not own one yet. They are very comfortable to shoot

Nice Find Mart!!

Thanks Phil. I have fired a box and a half through it and it functioned flawlessly.

This would be an Occupation model - 640(b) - and appears
to have been made in 1943.........

Hey Steve,
So do you have a secret database you would be so kind to share?

I tried to see if I could trace that serial number but couldn't find a source.

Based on thoughts from my own Occupation model, and a rough idea from
"The Browning High Power Automatic Pistol" by R. Blake Stevens.........

Nice gun. Thanks for posting. Walkwolf is correct on 1943 manufacture. The new serial number system started in 1943 with the letter a at the end of the serial number. 1944 would have letter b.
