Excellent Fabrique Nationale Browning Model 1900 Semi-Automatic Pistol with "Russian Contract" Markings, Extra Magazine, and Medal

Manufactured between 1899 and 1911, with a set of crossed Mosin-Nagant rifles on the left side of the frame over the number "6450". Firm documentation on these pistols is thin, though they are chiefly attributed as being presentation weapons for top-rated graduates of Imperial Russian military institutions, sometimes acquired in swaps by U.S. troops deployed to Russia to intervene in the Russian Civil War. Blade front and notch rear sights with pop-up cocking indicator, with stacked matching numbers on the right side of the rear sight, slide and frame, Liege proofs in the same arrangement on the left, "FABRIQUE- NATIONALE-D'ARMESdeGUERRE-HERSTAL-BELGIQUE" on the left side of the slide, and an oval pistol and FN logo over "BROWNING'S-PATENT/BREVETTE S.G.D.G." on the left side of the frame. The safety positions are polished bright, with "FEU" and "SUR" markings, and the grips are checkered with impressed 1900 pistol logos and "FN" in an oval on each side. Both of the included magazines are blued and unmarked. Included with the lot is a Cross of St. George, 4th Class medal.

ConditionExtremely fine, with 90% of the original blue finish, showing some mild rubbing on the underside of the slide and on the high edges, scattered light spotting and mild handling marks. The grips are fine, with some minor chips absent around the lanyard staple, a few light scuffs overall, crisp checkering and sharp logos. Mechanically excellent.
