FN 1922 date question

[Theduke635]

I just picked up this FN 1922 for basically nothing and I'm curious about what year it was . Someone put fake nazi eagles all over it at some point so ignore those

According to Anthony Vanderlinden's book FN Browning Pistols (p244), this serial number series ended in May 1940 at 285,000, so this would have been produced almost at the end of the 1925-40 run. The inspector mark near the proof is consistent with this date range.

Thanks for posting. Why do you say that the waffen amts are fake? The JTK marking may be the initials of a previous owner.

They are 100% fake and done horribly
