Pre-WWI FN Browning Model 1900 .32 ACP Semi Automatic Pistol
Our Assessment: This pistol rates in about excellent overall condition. The FN Browning Model 1900 was the first practical and reliable Semi Automatic handgun to be adopted by any army. While the Swiss adopted the Luger pistol that same year, the FN Browning Model 1900 was easier to manufacture, and significantly more reliable. This a beautifully preserved example and we suspect collectors will show significant interest.
