This is a very rare early production Browning HP "GB" competition model with rare exceptionally well executed gold inlaid borders on each panel of the pistol and gold plated small parts. These pistols were manufactured around 1987 and not cataloged for sale in the U.S. by Browning Arms Company. These competition model pistols feature a fixed front sight and adjustable rear sight, a 6 inch match barrel, front counterweight, serrated spur hammer, smooth trigger, and 13 round double stack magazine. This specific pistol has been fitted with extra fancy set of factory checkered two piece walnut grips. The sides of the slide have the standard Belgium address on one side and the Browning address on the other and the left side of the frame is marked "E.VOS - STYLING - BELGIUM". The pistol is finished blue with a gold slide hold back, thumb safety, hammer, magazine release and trigger. All numbers match.

Excellent, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with a couple of very minor handling marks. All of the exquisite gold remains. The grips are as new. Mechanically excellent.
