It should be noted that the Baby Browning and the Vest Pocket are different .25 ACP designs.

The Vest Pocket is a 1905, the Baby is 1931.

Top is an FN/Browning 1905 Vest Pocket.
Bottom is a Colt 1908 Vest Pocket.

Both were developed from the same John Browning design.

The Baby comes later.

There is a chapter devoted to the differences between these two models.
