I just purchased a Belgium Browning Hi-Power and at the moment it's a mystery. All the serial numbers match all parts. The the serial # letter code confirms it was manufactured year 1984 yet it looks nothing like an 80's MK II model. Except for the fact it does have a MKII hognose front slide barrel bushing. Otherwise it has none of the usual characteristic features of a MKII such as a muzzle area drain hole, large thumb safety and the top slide rib. It doesn't seem to have any particular foreign distribution markings. Does anyone have any ideas about its origins? Perhaps it was part of a special contract batch? Perhaps its not a MKII?
