Hi!
My father in law has given me a very good looking FN Browning M1910 he inherited from his father.
Althought it is chambered in .380ACP, it would appear to be it was originally chambered for 7.65MM (the only magazine it has is stamped 7.65MM), as my father in law recalls his father making some sort of comment to this effect.
I don´t think it is very old as the serial number is quite high - 490,xxx (I understand near 800,000 of this pistols were manufactured until 1983) but I would love to know it´s approx. manufacture year.
It has the Peruvian shield and the words "Ejercito Peruano" (Peruvian Army) engraved on the slide (right side).
It does not appear to have ever been fired, but would like to dissassemble it first to check it throughly, clean it, oil it and them....take it to the range! (dissassembly instructions anyone?)
Any information on this pistol will be much appreciated.
Stay safe!
Juan Carlos
