Built on the all-steel Hi-Power platform, this full-size No.2 Mk I* retains its original fixed sights, with a front blade and a rear notch. The slide has rear serrations with no front serrations, and the external rowel (ring) hammer and left-side thumb safety reflect the wartime configuration.
The pistol wears a matte gray finish on both slide and frame with checkered black plastic grip panels. A lanyard ring at the heel supports its service pattern, and the frame is the No.2 Mk I* version without a shoulder-stock slot.
Mechanically, it uses the Hi-Power’s single-action, short-recoil system and a double-column magazine, providing a 13+1 capacity. The barrel measures 4.7 inches, and the bore condition is excellent with sharp rifling.
Markings include the slide legend "MK1*" over "BROWNING-F.N. 9MM HP INGLIS CANADA" and the Inglis T-prefix serial format, aligning with 1944 Canadian production for British/Commonwealth use.
