FABRIQUE NATIONALE Model 1903 Semi-Automatic 9x20mm C&R Pocket Pistol Long
Pre-Great War Military Sidearm
Here we present a Fabrique Nationale Browning Model 1903, made circa 1910 in Herstal, Belgium. The FN Model 1903, also known as the Browning No.2, is a semi-automatic pistol designed by John Moses Browning and manufactured by Belgian arms manufacturer Fabrique Nationale. It was introduced in 1903 and fired the 9x20mm Browning Long cartridge. The FN Model 1903 is based on the same mechanical design as the Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless, which Browning sold to both companies, but enlarged to handle the more powerful 9mm Browning Long cartridge. The Model 1903's reliability, accuracy, light weight, and quick reloading made it a popular service pistol for many police forces and militaries. The pistol was initially introduced by FN as the Browning Modèle de Guerre (Browning War Model) or Browning Grand Modèle (Browning Large Model).
Prior to World War I, the Ottoman Empire ordered 8,000 pistols for police use between 1908 and 1914, and the Russian Empire ordered approximately 11,000 pistols with detachable shoulder stock holsters for their police forces during the same time period. An additional 9,000 pistols were sold commercially before production was discontinued when the FN factory was overrun by troops from the German Empire in August 1914.
The over condition is good. Strong action. The bore is bright and nicely rifled. Legible markings. Both grips are in good shape and contain an average amount of handling wear. There is a small crack at the back of the left grip.
