So I have the chance to procure a Hi-Power for around $425. I am trying to do some research on it.
Serial # is 76Cxxxxx (the serial # appears only on the frame in front of the grips).
It is currently nickel-plated, which the dealer believes to be a refinish. Slide is marked Browning, Made in Belgium on the left side. Frame is marked with a 2 in front of the trigger guard on the left and what looks like a crown over an oval on the right side. Barrel has same crown over an oval and some other marks I can't distinguish.
There is some light pitting around the gun under the nickel, and the mag safety has been removed.
The barrel is, well, something I can't say on this family friendly forum. The shop said they would soak it overnight to see if it was pitting/corrosion or just caked on grime.
External extractor.
Sights are adjustable, but really friggin' huge.
Any information would be a great help, especially in regard to pricing.
