My uncle has this now. He got it from his grandfather who "took it from a Nazi during the war when he.." I've been told. I do not know if that is fact/fiction. I was wondering if anyone knows any information about this firearm.
You show a FN model of 1905 .25 auto. They made something above a million of these over a 40+ year period. Colt made pretty much the same pistol for US sales.
Looks like it was used little, neglected a bit over the past 75 years. But then how much fun or training is there in shooting a pocket pistol anyhow?
GGrandpa took it from a German officer? Well, maybe. Some European officers carried peashooters like this because it was soldierly to have a gun but no need for a staff officer to weight himself down with a combat weapon. Or he might have won it in a poker game off the guy who did capture it.
It says they went to the widened trigger in 1911 at serial number 220000 and had built about 550000 by the start of WW I. So Unk's 386160 was made sometime between 1911 and 1914.
