FN Hi-Power – 9mm – Hi Power – WWII German Stamps – 640(b) – RARE!

This is a no reserve penny auction for an FN Hi-Power semi-automatic pistol in 9mm. Serial number- 67597. This Hi-Power is in great condition for its age and comes with one magazine. German Military proof marks and stamps can be seen on the left side of the frame and slide. All the serials match on the barrel, slide, and frame. Note this pistol has received a chrome finish. It was not uncommon for American soldiers to chrome the war trophies they brought home from Europe or the Pacific theaters.

When World War II broke out Germany invaded Belgium and defeated the French and British Armies, the German Army used occupied munitions factories as well. FN was one of the factories that were forced to produce arms for the German Army including Browning Hi-Power pistols. Since the Germans only controlled Belgium for a few years only a limited number of Hi-Power's were provided to the Germans, making these rare pistols highly collectible!
