Unique Asian Copy of a Colt/Browning Semi-Automatic Pistol

This is a copy of a European or American pistol most likely produced in China. Similar in form and function to the Browning patented Colt model 1903. The slide and frame have a light almost nitre type blue finish. The left side is marked "*/52/+". The barrel has a partial crown stamp at the chamber; the markings may be an attempt to imitate the type and style of markings found on American and European pistols at the time of manufacture to improve its appeal with Asian buyers.

ConditionFine with 40% original blue finish. The balance has aged to a primarily smooth, mottled gray/brown patina with some light handling marks, slight spotting and some very light pitting. Grips are very good with moderate handling marks and no cracking. Mechanically excellent.
