SN 79 is a FN 1910. See' The FN Browning Pistol 'expanded 2nd edition by Anthony Vanderlinde, pages 212 &213. This is a very rare pistol. The frame is correct. The slide is a later pre WW1 replacement as it does not show the early arched contour that was found on the 1st year 1912 produced guns.

Dan, I've attached a few closeups of the markings. So the markings are more important features than the serial number itself when figuring out the age? Forgive my ignorance here, but when you say post war, are you referring to WWI or WWII? I was under the assumption that the fairly low serial number (135921) in the overall production run of 700,000 weapons would put the date of manufacture somewhere in the late 1920's. Of course, if I really knew anything I wouldn't be asking in the first place, haha! Your ignorance is forgiven but only if you forgive mine.

Yes, the markings are the key and only if you can find them or if the pistol has them. The serial number is a guide of course after the features and markings are analyzed. It is one of the things that makes the FN so much fun to collect and study. And they all were post-WWI. Can you pull back the slide (as if to load it) and flip the pistol over. Have a look at the serial and markings inside that exposed underrail of the slide.

What do you find (or photograph)? Cajuntempest wrote: Dan, I've attached a few closeups of the markings. Download ringtones of hey baby movie online. So the markings are more important features than the serial number itself when figuring out the age?

With the other models from FN the serial would be key because there were few contracts that had there own serial ranges or contract numbers applied. Not so in the the case of the 1922. FN would mark this model with a unique serial range for many contracts.
