FN 1900
FN 1900
pistol with a small serial number: 2950.
It is one
of the first FN pistols manufactured in 1900.
On the
carcass there is only the small acronym with the pistol and the marking Breveté
S. G. D. G.
The
plates of grips are chocolate coloured and the drawing of the small pistol is
not like on the others.
According
to Anthony Vanderlinden's book on Browning pistols (p. 146), this variant of the
legend on this pistol is that of the first year of production (1900).
Later on,
the drawing of the rather rough little gun was replaced by a better one!

Cal. 7.65mm
The Model 1900 was manufactured from 1900 to 1912, it was the first pistol ever to use the 7.65mm cartridge (known in the U.S. as .32 ACP), which had been designed for it by Browning. The Model 1900 was adopted by the Belgian Army in March 1900, and later adopted by many other European military and police forces as well as being a successful commercial product. About 725,000 were made 1899-1910.

F.N. 1900 chinese ( or Pachtoun) copy
Chinese Copy of Browning 1900 semi-auto pistol. Marked on the left side of the frame: Browning S Patent. The other markings do not make much sense, as they seem to be a combination of European letters that do not create any words(GUERREHERSTALGUERRE....). Some unrecognizable proofs are present on the left side of the frame.
Other copy
With a copy of the mark Mauser (?) ( stupid !)
Another copy Pachtoun
Marks very strange !!
