Description:
From my private "Mouse Gun" collection, I offer this LNIB Stainless PSA .25 in the labeled box with manual. This is polished brushed stainless steel in .25 caliber. It comes in the factory box with the originl provided cleaning brush, one mag and manual. BLUE LINE IS IN PHOTOS ONLY TO BLOCK SERIAL # FOR SECURITY. The price for this on the PSA wrbsite is $1059 and not always in stock so this is a steal! (Link to provided below). JUST SOLD but have others including the twin to this one!! I also have available the earlier Baby Brownings, PSP-.25s and a few more of these PSA-.25 Babys left.
A LITTLE HISTORY OF THE BABY BROWNING: These are the continued Baby Browning models still produced after they were banned from import to the US-but it didn't forbid the domestic production of these same weapons. FN transferred production of the Baby Browning to Manufacture d'armes de Bayonne (MAB) during 1979. Based in Bayonne, France, MAB produced the pistol from 1979 until 1983 when bankruptcy forced it to discontinue production. Production of the Baby Browning ceased in Europe at that time.
During 1982, discussions began between FN and its North American-based representative Jim Stone focusing on securing a North American-based contractor to manufacture the Baby Browning on a turnkey basis. In 1984 a Canadian Swiss screw machine shop, Precision Small Parts, Ltd (PSP) entered into a technology transfer and production agreement with FN to manufacture the pistol. It was based in Aurora, Ontario and maintained a subsidiary in Charlottesville, Virginia.
FN issued an order to PSP for 40,000 of the pistols, all to be exported to Austria for onward distribution under the Browning logo. PSP's owner Joseph Maygar Sr. had a long working relationship with FN dating back to the days of the Hungarian Resistance Movement of WWII. PSP produced firearms parts as well as sub-machine guns for FN. In 1985 the Canadian federal authorities forced PSP to transfer production of the Baby Browning pistol frame (the essential part according to the legal definition of a firearm) to its Virginia, US facility, though the Canadian side of the company continued to manufacture the slide and detail parts for the pistol. When the US subsidiary of PSP applied for a federal export permit with the Department of State to transfer the pistols to FN via its Austrian intermediary, the permit was denied. At that time, Austria was known to be a trans-shipment point for armaments for the Middle East, and presumably the State Department did not want a large number of Baby Browning pistols ending up in that region.
This action on part of the State Department caused PSP to become insolvent. The insolvency of the company eventually precipitated a sale to a US/Canadian-based investor group in 1991 orchestrated by San Francisco, California based merchant banker Lenn Kristal. During 1995 the technology and inventory of parts of the FN Baby Browning project was spun out by the investor group into a new entity under Kristal's control and direction, which became known as Precision Small Arms, Inc. (PSA), and the pistol was rebranded at that time as the PSA-25 Baby.

I have never loaded the gun or fired it since purchased. It has been stored in a humidity controlled environment with my collection only to be admired. Condition is like new but look at the detailed pictures to decide for yourself. I always recommend anyone with intentions of firing a collector quality gun that has only been displayed for years, have a gunsmith do a thorough inspection and be sure the internals are oiled to factory specs before firing the weapon. This can only be shipped to a current licensed FFL. Buyer pays actual shipping costs. It is your responsibility to know the laws in your state for legally owning a handgun.
When the gun is received at your FFL, all inspections and addressing concerns must be done in front of the FFL that received the shipment BEFORE accepting the gun in your name. I cannot be responsible for the condition of the gun once it leaves the FFL premises. The gun should not be dry fired multiple times. Returns require buyer to pay all shipping costs and FFL fees for both parties and shipping both ways. There can be a 15% restocking charge unless defective. "No warranty expressed or implied". Guns will be shipped to FFL dealers only and a copy of their FFL license and contact information must be provided in advance for shipping estimates. Will ship with tracking once funds clear and in my account. No sales or shipments to California or states with firearm restrictions.
