The FN Browning M1922 was a very popular pistol in many Armies and Police forces, till take over of Belgium through the Germans. Serial numbers: 20000 - 215000; 1 - 100000 with suffix 'a', 'b', or 'c'. Serial number: 6-digit number right on frame. 6-digit number inside slide.

Gentlemen, I am confused concerning FN 1922 serial numbers. I understand that wartime serial numbers continued into aprox 155,000 under German occupation. I know that the Germans re-configured the serial numbers to run in blocks of 100,000 with a letter suffix in late 1943 until the end of production in 1944. My understanding is that when the Belgians continued producing this pistol in late 1944 they used an 'A' prefix to distinguish the pistols made after liberation.

So, my question is were the FN 1922 pistols utilized by various postwar German Police agencies made during the war of after? They seem to fall into the 1943 serial number range since they do not have an 'A' prefix. Is this perhaps a special postwar contract serial number run without the prefix letter? Here is an example of a pistol issued to the postwar Berlin Polizei in the American Zone of Occupation with such a serial number. It has full Belgian proofs (no Germans ones) and no 'triangle' stamp on the back of the frame or slide. When was it made? According to Anthony Vanderlinden's book, all Berlin's police FN 1922 pistols were purchased during the 1950s.

The same source (p. 254) also states that 'no specific contract numbers were used for any of the German contracts, all pistols had standard postwar FN serial numbers.' The book depicts several guns in same range as yours, for instance, 129912, 130532, 134257 and 140788. In addition, my guess is the '2' stamped on the trigger bar means '1952' - the manufacturing date. This is the system adopted by FN after the war.

Kudos to NinerMaine for leading me to this Dutch Army contract FN Browning M1922. It's a sweet pistol, and at serial number 60765 it was built less than 700 units before the Nazis overran the Fabrique Nationale of Belgiumarsenal in May, 1940.

The latest recorded Dutch Contract pistol is serial number 61344. The Crown over W on the barrel is the crest for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. The crown over the script W on the rear frame is the inspector mark for Wolf.

The frame, slide, slide extension and barrel are matching. The two mags are not. Even though the barrel and one mag are marked as 9mm, it is chambered in.380 auto (9mm kurtz). The holster and muzzle end wear are somewhat typical for these guns, but overall it is in great shape.

Niner even cleaned and test fired it for me! Couldn't ask for more. Pics, and thanks for looking.
