Measuring but 6' overall in length and weighing just under 1 lb., 8 ozs., this semi-automatic became an instant hit, enjoying brisk civilian and police sales—though military interest in the piece was lukewarm at best. Things changed in 1922 when the gun was revamped by increasing the 1910’s 3½' barrel length by an inch, which also required changes to the slide and slide extension. Later, the grip was extended to accommodate a magazine of greater capacity, increasing the original 1910’s capacity of seven shots of.32 ACP and six shots of.380 ACP by two rounds each. Initially adopted by the Yugoslavian military (which was the prime mover in the gun’s alterations), the 1922 gained momentum on the world market and was eventually used by police and/or armies in Belgium, Denmark, Finland France, Greece, Holland, Romania and Turkey. When the Germans overran Belgium in 1940, they commandeered the FN facilities and turned production to their own ends, incorporating the P35 High Power and Model 1922 into the Wehrmacht. Occupation-era Model 1922s will exhibit different acceptance marks (waffenamts) depending upon when a particular gun was manufactured.

Both.32 ACP and.380 ACP versions were issued. Early specimens, some of which were constructed of parts already on-hand when FN was taken over, sport a commercial-style finish and have black plastic stocks emblazoned with the “FN” logo, while later pistols show a diminution of quality and are fitted with checkered walnut grips. German-issue 1922s have an eagle test proof, and some early guns may also be seen with Belgian proofs. Eventually some 363,200 1922s were built between 1940 and 1945. The.32 ACP Model 1922 we are looking at here, having a serial number in the 20,000-23,000 range and a “WaA613” acceptance stamp, indicates it was made in approximately 1941, and thus commands a premium.

Condition is NRA Excellent, resulting in a value of $875. A similar gun in.380 ACP would be worth approximately 50 percent more. Uni en iso 13786 pdf download windows 7.

1910 FN Browning The 1910 FN Browning Pistol Also Known as the “New Model” Browning by Ed Buffaloe John Moses Browning probably completed the prototype for his “New Model” pistol in 1908. This can be deduced from the fact that it was patented in Belgium on 20 February 1909, though it is often reported that the prototype was made in 1909 or even 1910.

The gun was never patented or manufactured in the U.S. Manufacture of the New Model in 7.65mm by Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Belgium began late in 1912. Manufacture in 9mm Browning Short (.380 caliber) probably began a few months later. FN deliberately delayed release of the new design for nearly three years because sales of the Old Model were still brisk. Once released, the Browning Automatic Pistol, New Model, quickly supplanted the Old Model. However the Old Model () continued in production right up to the beginning of the Great War in 1914, in order to fulfill Belgian military contracts.

The year model designations 1900 and 1910 apparently did not come into use until sometime after World War I, though the guns were both always known as the Browning Automatic Pistol. By 1910, the word “Browning” was virtually synonymous with “automatic pistol” in much of Europe. FN’s instruction manuals in the 1920’s continued to refer to the gun as the “Browning Automatic Pistol, New Model,” but this gradually gave way to “Browning Automatic Pistol, Model 1910,” and after World War II to “Browning Automatic Pistol, Model 10.” The New Model was lighter and less complicated than its predecessor, while retaining the remarkable reliability and accuracy of the Old Model. Pollard notes that the New Model is “.smaller and handier, but has a much more appreciable recoil.” Both guns are blowback operated.
