FN 1922 pistols with WaA140 inspectors marks were made between mid-1941 and September 1944 (when the FN plant was liberated by the Allies). BTW: These are very good shooters if you care to give it a try. I am always on the lookout for nice numbers matching example like yours.Īt one time these were just about the most popular pistol with the European police departments and were still in service in some locations up into the 1980s.
These used to be at the low end of German used WW II pistols but that is pretty much over and I have noted substantial price increases over the past few years. There were substantial numbers of these produced and your example appears to be in very good condition with considerable original finish remaining. Yours is a typical late war WA 140 code Model 1922.
FWIW, the designation of the the Browning guns imported to conform to the GCA of '68 were called Model 10/70. FN Model 1910/22 Serial Number Curios and Relics.
