Let's see:
#1 Hi-Pwer Inglis with buttstock (ring hammer and tangent sights) #2 1910/22 w/ bakelite grips #3 1900 w/ later type grips (1,000,000 copy?) #4 1900 w. nickel earlier type #5 Still looks like an engraved 1910/22 (I cannot remember without looking which was longer, the 1910 or the 1922) #6 1910/22 Cutaway? (no front sight either) #7 Waldo!  I don't know how close I got and plus, I need a holster for mine like the one you have for my 1910/22. Kinda neat post, too. Leland

1) not an inglish, it is FN but not even a High power, has an oval ejection port.  2) Yes it is a a 1922, it has one and one only waffen ambt stamp, look at the serial, does it rings a bell 44567 C ... 3) It is authentic. Below you see a newpaper"La Meuse" dated 1feb 1914, it tells the story of this pistol that happened the day before. BTW, the pistol was made on july 15 1912... 4) indeed an original factory nickel 1900 with blue trigger and safety. 5) engraved 1922 but has no serials or proofstamps. Lunchbox pistol  6) 1922 belgian army stamped cutaway. Very few survived the masacre, they all were cut in pieces after there service life. A prefix serial. 7) sorry, Waldo is hard to catch It would have been also the other engraved 1922, also a lunchbox with no serials at all.let's see you find the story on 1, 2 and 3      paco |

Very interesting. I guess mine realy needed some work. I got sidetracked by the ad on the left containing the "automobile 30/40 H.P. FN".
Just plain cool! Ferdinan comes to mind somehow. Thanks for the help and the post. Leland

#1 appears to be a Saive Model of 1929.
Neat guns!

Number one is a high rendement of 1934. It one of the trials pistol for the Belgian army. The pistol has Belgian Army acceptation stamps. From this pistol, the Belgian army made a list of items they wanted to change and so was the high power born (GP35 model)
