Manufactured from 1899 to 1910. Features half moon blade front and raised "V" notch frame rear sights with a special cocking indicator built into the top of the sight and 7-shot magazine. The left side of the slide is marked with the one-line address/patent information, with the pistol logo overtop of "BREVETE TE-S.G.D.G.", along with matching proof marks stamped on the slide, frame, and rear sight. The right side is stamped with matching serial numbers similarly located on the slide, frame, and rear sight.

Very fine with 80% original blue finish. Displaying some areas of edge wear, thinning finish on the grips straps, and minor surface scratches. Grips are good, with clear lettering, and well defined checkering, though they have warped slightly at the edges. Mechanically excellent.

A Chinese produced copy of the Browning Model 1900 commonly found from the warlord period, through the revolution. With assorted proof marks and stamping meant to imitate the correct Belgian markings, a fixed blade front and no provision for a rear sight, hard rubber "FN" style grips and a lanyard staple at the left heel.

Fine overall with 20 % of the original blue finish. The balance has a primarily smooth brown/gray patina. With areas of slight spotting and pitting as well as some edge wear. Grips are fine with some smoothed checkering but otherwise clear markings. Mechanically very good.
