Model 1935 adopted by many countries as a service pistol. Following, is a list:

In 1940, Germany occupied Belgium and took over the FN plant. Production of Model 1935 continued, with Germany taking the output. FN plant was assigned production code "ch" and many thousands were produced. Finish on these Nazi guns runs from as fine as Pre-war Commercial series to downright crude. Possible to see how war was progressing for Germany by finish on their weapons. One must be cautious with some of these guns as there have been fakes noted, with their backstraps cut for shoulder stocks, producing what would appear to be a more expensive variation. Individual appraisal should be secured if any doubt exists.

50,000 manufactured.

These pistols were taken over when plant was occupied. Slotted for stocks and have tangent sights. Few produced between serial number 48,000 and 52,000. All noted have WA613 Nazi proof mark. Beware of fakes!

Earliest models have an "A" prefix on serial number and do not have the magazine safety. Pistols were produced for many countries and there were many thousands manufactured.

Introduced in 1950 and 1954. Those imported into U.S.A. are marked Browning Arms Co. These pistols have commercial polished finish.
