Fn Browning Model 1922 Serial Numbers List
I'm about to get a pistol which as far as I can tell was made for the Yugoslavian Army.. It has the cyrillic writing on the side indicating 'Property of State' Serial number 69657. There is no German markings on the gun that I can tell.. What I'm confused about is the 2 proof marks on the trigger guard.. Normally there is an FN inside an oval in this area but this gun has a crown over M and a crown over B (Belgium perhaps?)..
Apparently the serial numbers for these guns can be quite confusing because of all the different contracts they were manufactured for... I'm pretty sure the gun was produced and delivered prior to the German takeover of the factory in 1940 or 41... but who knows?
My grandfather passed it down to my dad... I hear my Grandfather won it in a gambling bet from the guy who brought it back from WW2...
I'm just curious as to the history of the thing..And am hoping someone on here knows a lot about them and can help me because there were many made and floating around Europe... Any help would be greatly appreciated..[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
