I picked up a FN/ Browning hi power. From what I have read they where not the best at record keeping. I have a serial # of T26197* which I put in the 1968/1969 model year. from Browning's site they went to C series in 69' around the 26100 number.

thanks
 
Brownings serial numbers and DOBs are sketchy at best for the older guns. Most people quote that C series guns started in 1969 which is true. People then assume that T series guns stopped at that point. This is however not the case. FN/Herstal was notorious for using older parts in newer guns even after "model" changes. They never threw anything away. This is why you will see forged MKIII guns etc...

The T series was actually made up until 1972. I have seen T series guns with serial numbers at high at T378XXX.
