Browning Hi Power Serial Numbers
Browning Hi Power Serial Numbers 3,5/5 2054 reviews
Why Do Some Hi Powers Have Serial Numbers in Multiple Places?
As most know, Fabrique Nationale manufactures the Hi Power pistol. Commonly known in the United States as the 'Browning Hi Power', it is imported by Browning and while it bears the their logo, it is manufactured by FN.
FN is a large manufacturer of firearms from handguns to heavy machineguns and has customers worldwide.
There is no universal law decreeing where a firearm's serial number must be. In the US, the frame is the firearm and must be serial numbered. In South Africa, it is the barrel. You get the idea: FN must produce firearms meeting legal requirements of their individual customers all over the world.. There may be countries in which it is required that all three major components of the Hi Power have serial numbers, but I do not know that for a fact. I suspect also that having the barrels, slides and frames of individual Hi Powers numbered make it easier for military units maintaining multiple Hi Powers keep the pistols assembled as they came from the factory after routine field-stripping, cleaning, etc.
Some of my Browning-marked Hi Powers came with the serial numbers only on the frame while others bear them on both the frame and barrel. I have seen them marked on the slide, barrel and frame as well. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to why unless from possible military overruns or pistols initially intended for purchase in countries other than the US.
Browning Hi Power Serial Numbers Date Manufactured Homes
To find your serial number, you will need to refer to your owner's manual. We have most owner's manuals online. While every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided on serial numbers and dates of manufacture are accurate, records on early production models such as the Auto-5 and Superposed shotguns were not included due to. Trying to get information on a recently acquired Browning Hi-Power. It has a 5-digit serial number 393XX, which I can't seem to find information on a serial # like this. It also has markings to include '.S' (star over Capital S), a Stick-figure Lion? With the letters 'PV' under it. These two markings are on Frame, Slide, and Barrel.
The major difference in serial number locations I've seen in more recent times involves the frame. On Browning-marked pistols, it remains on the front grip strap while FN-marked Hi Powers are serial numbered on the side of the frame.
Best.

ww2dbaseThe Browning Hi-Power single action semi-automatic pistols were built upon ideas envisioned by John Browning for the Belgian firm Fabrique Nationale, but he was unable to complete it before his death in 1926. Fabrique Nationale's designer Dieudonne Saive completed the design in 1928 by incorporating design elements from the Colt Model 1911 pistols, which patent had just expired. The design was completed in 1935, leading to the alternate designation of Browning P-35.Browning Hi-Power pistols were used during WW2 by both sides. Under German occupation, Fabrique Nationale produced them as Pistole 640(b) pistols for the German Army. On the Allies side, these pistols were made in Canada by John Inglis and Company; these Canadian-made pistols were popular with American and British covert operatives and commandos for their power and ammunition capacity despite the compact size.
During the pre-WW2 period, some pistols came with a wooden shoulder stock. These wooden shoulder stocks were discontinued during WW2.
Today, Browning Hi-Power pistols are still the standard sidearm of various armies around the world, including Belgium, United Kingdom (L9A1), Ireland (Browning Automatic Pistol or BAP), Australia, Singapore, Argentina (Rosario, FM90, and FM95), and others.

Unfortunately any records, which may have revealed who your pistol was issued to, were likely destroyed during the war. The only other chance would be, if you would be fortunate enough to have the soldier's identification book (Soldbuch)who was issued this piece. Again, likely lost or destroyed through time.

Hello all. If you are looking at a Browning High Power from World War II look at the eagle insignia on the Herstal-Belgique. These weapons were manufactured in Belgium from around 42 to mid 44. The insignia should have a marking of WaA 140 underneath. The serial numbers for this weapon only go till 630000 approximately. Also on the weapon look for SS stamps. These are sometimes found on the left hand side of the pistol running underneath the wooden grip. These were manufactured for the defending force of the SS in the last days of the war and are probably not the prettiest things to look at.

I have a similar gun that I am trying to research, the only issue i am running into with my perticular gun is whoever owned it before my great grandfather, had it nickel plated, and it covered up all the seriel numbers. The swastika and approval stamp are still viseable. I found the link to this page( http://www.ai4fr.com/main/page_militaria__collectibles_germany_hipower.html ) to be VERY helpful in providing some information. However there is no value information on that page. I have seen these guns go for as much as $3,500.00 USD.

Serial numbers for the Browning Hi Power ... I have found one site with S/Ns but it starts in 1954 ... looking for a site that has S/N info (MFG date) from the 30's & 40's ... I believe it is from that era because the S/N is 5 characters and starts with 14xxx and there is a symbol after the number ... any suggestions?

Trying to get information on a recently acquired Browning Hi-Power.
It has a 5-digit serial number 393XX, which I can't seem to find information on a serial # like this.
It also has markings to include '*S' (star over Capital S), a Stick-figure Lion? with the letters 'PV' under it. These two markings are on Frame, Slide, and Barrel. I've read the '*S' marking is an inspection proof dating 1952-1968.
The slide had the 'thumbprint' dimple on the right side and an internal extractor. I've read this make it pre-1960's.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
