Made in Belgium, this Browning Hi-Power features the early internal-extractor slide and the classic rowel (ring) hammer. It retains the Belgian slide legend: "FABRIQUE NATIONALE D'ARMES DE GUERRE / HERSTAL – BELGIQUE / BROWNING'S PATENT DEPOSÉ," along with Belgian proofs on the barrel hood and on the frame forward of the trigger.
This is a Browning-marketed Hi-Power, not an FN-branded pistol. It has matching serial numbers on the frame, slide, and barrel, confirming that the major components were fit as a set.
The full-size steel frame and slide house a 4.625 in. barrel chambered in 9mm Luger. Operation is short-recoil, single-action only, with a left-side thumb safety and a push-button magazine release.
Sights are fixed, with a square-notch rear and a blade front that has red/orange paint for visibility. The pistol wears checkered hardwood grip panels that provide a traditional Hi-Power feel in the hand.
Capacity is 15+1 using the included double-stack magazines. The combination of the internal extractor, ring hammer, Belgian proofs, and matching numbers make this an especially notable Browning Hi-Power for enthusiasts seeking a correct, Belgian-made example.
