Hi folks
I just inherited 2 pistols from my grandfather. He was a LT Colonel in WWII, but I am not sure if they are from WWII or Vietnam, because my uncle (his son) went to Vietnam and a few other cousins and their friends also.
I know he always kept in a safe and I was told that it was "war trophies"
I would like to know more info about the weapons and the value.
They are:
1- Accu-Tek 9MM, model BL9, serial no 000485, 6 rounds magazine
2- Fabrique Nationale Herstal Belgique, 9mm, 13 + 1 rounds mag, serial #215RN28611, fully auto with case (The case reads Browning)
They both looks not so good, were dry and the FN was still dirty with gun powder. I put a bit of oil (without cleaning) and both fire real good. The FN spray like crazy. I don't know if it was a factory set-up or what. I just fire two magazines on both.
Is the first 9mm fully auto I ever seen.
Thanks
