NAZI GERMAN Fabrique Nationale Model 1922 Pistol
With Leather Holster
Here we present a Browning FN Model 1922 Pistol, made in Nazi Occupied Belgium, circa 1943, during World War II. Germany invaded Belgium on May 10, 1940 and consequently had their weapons manufacturing capabilities appropriated for the Third Reich. This pistol was appropriated by U.S. Corporal Paul Mahaney on 2 March 1946, according to the capture form. This was almost a year after Victory in Europe Day. Also listed on the form are a pair of binoculars and a hunting knife.
Belgium has long been known for its weapons manufacture made for export all over the world. In 1889, Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (National Factory of Weapons of War), was created, and in 1897, FN employed world famous gun designer John Moses Browning. Browning would go on to design the FN 1900 & 1910. The 1922 was the younger but larger brother of the 1910 (incidentally, it was the 1910 that Gavrillo Princep used to assassinate Arch Duke Ferdinand and Princess Sophie to kick off World War I). Many countries adopted the 1922 for their militaries, including Yugoslavia, Greece, Holland, France, Denmark, and Finland, amongst others.
This specimen is one of those that was manufactured during the occupation for Nazi Germany. It was made for service in the German Army, Luftwaffe and police. It features checkered walnut grips and German acceptance marks. . The left side of the slide reads “FABRIQUE NATIONALE D’ARMES DE GUERRE HERSTAL BELGIQUE/BROWNING’S PATENT DEPOSE”.
The overall condition is very good. 90% of the original blue finish remains. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is bright. The grips are in great shape. The action on this pistol is excellent.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
