Made by FN in Belgium, this Baby Browning aligns with Browning’s 1966 production and carries Browning Arms Company import markings from before the 1968 GCA. Belgian Liège proof marks and the "MADE IN BELGIUM" rollmark confirm origin and authenticity, adding clear provenance for buyers who value documented production and import history.
The pistol uses a simple blowback, striker-fired, single-action system with a left-side manual safety and a magazine disconnect. Its slide is top-ejecting and designed without an external extractor. Rear vertical slide serrations aid manipulation, and the serrated top rib features minimal integral sight indexes consistent with the model.
Compact dimensions define the platform: approximately 4.1 inches in overall length, 2.8 inches in height, and 0.8 inches in width, with an unloaded weight of about 9.7 ounces. The barrel measures 2.11 inches, and capacity is 6+1 in .25 ACP.
The bright nickel/chrome-plated steel slide and frame pair with black checkered polymer grip panels featuring the raised "BROWNING" oval. Integral fixed sights are formed into the serrated top rib, providing a low-profile sighting arrangement. The configuration and markings reflect the classic Baby Browning pattern from this period.
