Manufactured around 1966. Blade front and 500 meter tangent rear sights, with an external extractor, stacked matching serial numbers on the right side of the barrel, slide and frame, and the crossed swords and jambiya seal of the Sultanate of Oman on the right side of the slide. This is one of allegedly 36 pistols roll engraved with the Omani crest. According to FN expert and author Anthony Vanderlinden, "The first nine pistols were roll marked with an error in the crest, the consequent 27 pistols hand the correct crest," and "there is no indication that these pistols were ever in or used by Oman"; instead, these pistols were sales samples used in an attempt to secure a contract. This example has a correct crest (the scabbard of the dagger points to the left). The back strap is properly slotted for a shoulder stock, with a pair of checkered plastic grips. With a hand-numbered Fabrique Nationale box, English-language instruction sheet and a barrel rod.

Excellent, with 98% plus original blue finish, showing some light handling marks overall. A few spots of rust are present. The grips are excellent, with crisp checkering and some light scratches. The box is very good, with some tape on the lid and mild scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
