Description:

Standard two-line Fabrique Nationale and Browning markings on the left side of the slide. A French mail order company, Manufrance, has its marking on the right side of the slide: "Manufacture Francaise d'Armes et Cycles de St.Etienne." Manufrance sold products manufactured by third party manufactures. Various Belgium factory proofmarks are stamped on the barrel and left side of the slide and frame. The butt is marked "1617". Fitted with black checkered grips with raised FN markings.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The pistol retains 95% original blue finish showing some minor edge wear and some minor thinning on the grip straps. There is some scattered light pitting on the top of slide. The grips are fine with some minor handling marks and some wear in the checkering. Mechanically excellent.
