“Collectable” This WWII Hi-Power was manufactured during the German occupation of Belgium (May 1940-September 1944). By the serial number 832b, suffix “b” is the production block showing this pistol was made early 1944. It is in Fantastic condition for its age with its original blued finish with some light freckling on the upper right side of the slide. Along with the standard Fabrique Nationale D’Armes De Guerre Herstal-Belgique and Browning’s Patent Depose role stamping on the left side of the slide there is a “WaA140” Waffenamt inspection stamp on the left side of the slide and left side of the frame by the trigger and the Nazi Eagle over swastika Waffenamt stamp beside it. Initials “MR” are stamped on the right side trigger guard. Under the left grip the frame has a “3” inside a circle and an “S” next to it that are internal inspector proofs from the time. There are more proof stamps on the heal of the grip (see in photos) This pistol was produced during the 3rd and final production of German occupied Belgium. Because of the 13 rnd capacity of the magazine these Hi-Powers were issued to the SS and Fallschirmjager units. These last of the run pistols also have fixed sights instead of the tangent rear adjustable sights from previous pistols in order to simplify production. The grips are checkered wood but some were produced with plastic later closer to the final production run. “This is A Highly Prized Collectable WWII Pistol”. Please see photos!!! C&R
