Description:
WWII Occupied Belgium FABRIQUE NATIONALE 1922 7.65x17mmSR Pistol .32 ACP C&R

WW2 Belgium Made with EAGLE/WaA140 Markings + HOLSTER

Here we present a Fabrique Nationale Model 1922, made circa 1942 in Herstal, Belgium, near Liège. This pistol is a variant of the Model 1910 and is known as the Model 1922 or 1910/22 with a production run beginning with the Model 1910 in 1910 and continuing with the Model 1922 until 1983. This FN Model 1922 semi-automatic pistol was designed by John Browning and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale of Belgium. As is this pistol, Model 1910/1922 pistols went on to see extensive service in World War II and continued to be manufactured by the Germans after their occupation of Belgium and seizure of the FN factory. This example has Nazi production stamps, and like most has simple checkered wood grips instead of the earlier horn or plastic grips bearing the FN logo. While the Model 1910 was widely sold on both civilian and military markets, the Model 1922 was considered specifically a military and police pistol, with FN offering it to individual civilians only by special order. Compared to the Model 1910, it was a larger model with a longer barrel, slide extension, and a longer grip frame to accommodate an extra two rounds.
Historically speaking, an FN Model 1910, serial number 19074, was the handgun used by Gavrilo Princip to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, the act that precipitated the First World War. During both World War I and World War II, the FN 1910 was used by the militaries of Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Finland, and Japan.

The over condition is very good. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with nice rifling. The grips are in good shape. The right panel has a modified retaining screw. Very nice holster.
