Description:
Here is an interesting find. A German-issued FN Model 1922 with holster. To the germans it was known as the Pistole 626 (b), with “b” standing for Belgisch or Belgian. The pistol is in excellent condition with a little holster wear being present. Strangely, the Waffenamt markings were not stamped correctly. Fortunately, serial number lists exist. According to research, the serial number places this pistol in the range of M1922s with the WaA103 stamp. This applies to serial numbers between 24,000 and 60,000. The WaA140 stamp is the most common one found and came afterward. The pistol comes with 2 mags and a German-issue holster. The holster was manufactured by HK (not Heckler & Koch), a company also well known for their knives (good quality and very expensive). There is a mag pouch for the second holster. As mentioned, the barrel exhibits holster wear on either side of the barrel. There is also bluing wear on the front of the grip which is very common among wartime pistols. The pistol is otherwise in excellent condition. The magazine holds 9 rounds which is a high number for a small pistol. The 1922 was based on the Model 1910, designed by none other than John Browning himself. They operate on the striker-fire method. Contrary to popular belief the H&K VP70 and Glock 17 were not the first striker-fired pistols. The 1910 and 1922 both make excellent conceal carry pistols because of their small size and were used in this capacity alongside such pistols as the Walther PP/PPK and Colt M1903. And like those pistols, the ’10 and ’22 were issued to officers in World War II. Unfortunately, there is no real way to know what this pistol has been through. If only it could speak.
