    FN Hi-Power 9mm pistol, the most prized possession in my modest militaria collection.

    A John Browning design manufactured byFabrique Nationale (FN) during the German occupation of Belgium.

    This example was taken by my father off a German prisoner in the Ardennes. Has the Waffenamt stamp WaA140 which puts the manufacture date sometime between 1941 and 1944.

    That's a great item to own, Steve. Very interesting late-war example with rough machining and plastic grips....wonderful piece of family history.

    A fine pistol! Give here a good amount of oil and shoot her from time to time. It´s good for her.
