Excellent Fabrique Nationale Model 1903 Semi-Automatic Pistol with Matching Shoulder Stock and Extended Magazine

Developed in 1902 and also known as the "War Model", the 1903 was a John Browning design that found military and police buyers across much of Europe, seeing active use into the 1940s and even during a brief window in the 1980s as a Swedish stopgap between the emergency retirement of the Lahti pistol and the acceptance of the Glock. As was the style of the time a shoulder stock was optional, though with a novel mounting method; two rail slots are cut into the bottom of the grip frame, and the stock slides onto the bottom, acting as an extended magazine well for a long magazine. The magazine serves as a reinforcement for the stock, giving a significantly more rigid mounting that many other stocked pistols. Blade and notch sights, with the two line FN address and Browning patent marks on the left side of the slide, Belgian proofs on the slide, barrel and frame, and a pair of checkered FN-marked grips, properly shortened to accommodate the rails. The blued steel mounting iron is numbered to match the pistol, and the stock interior is cut to accommodate the pistol, a magazine (both normal and extended will fit) and a cleaning rod. A cleaning rod, examples of both magazine sizes and a brown leather lanyard are included.

Rating definitionExcellent, with 95% of the original blue finish, showing some mild handling marks and spotting overall, along with some wear on the stock rails. The lower leg of the lanyard staple has broken, and it swivels freely on the upper leg. Grips are very good, with some mild dings and dents. Stock is very fine with a brown patina forming on the hinge and some mild dings on the otherwise attractive, well varnished wood. The lanyard shows some mild cracks. Mechanically excellent.
