Very nice JimA !! I owned a Fabrique National P35 (Hi-Power) with Waffenamt codes ( WaA proof marks ) and other Nazi markings that was dated to 1939 which I sold to a WWII collector of militaria for a large sum of cash. Guy who sold it to me had no idea what he had...and neither did I...until I got it home and did the research.
FN Herstal has been making great firearms for a long time. To find such a rare one was really cool. Any regrets for selling it?
Every damn day... ...and I know I took a picture (film) of it, but can't find it. I know the guy I sold it to died...and the wife dumped his collection before I had a chance to ask for it back...somebody made out like a bandit !
Yea...I really didn't want to sell it, but he made me an offer I couldn't refuse... I also have a Spreewerke CYQ P38 with WaA stampings that dates to early 1942 shown in post #3 of the Vintage Military Firearms Thread on this forum. Check it out...
Hi-Power imported as an Israeli Kareen and arrived as FN made and sold as at a Kareen price. It ain't purdy but it sure can cook I'm not sure which feels better a 1911 or B.H.P.
