SOLD - Rare, Fantastic Nazi FN Browning High Power Rig - Early Slotted Frame

Description

4/30/21 - This is a super rare and early Nazi FN Browning High Power rig with tangent sight and slotted frame. It is perhaps the most desirable and requested Nazi variation High Power, and this is likely the nicest we've ever encountered. It is hard to estimate exact production totals for this variation as they were completed from a mixture of available parts without serial number continuity, but the total ranges span only about 3,000 digits. This example falls into the 'sub-variant 2' category without pre-invasion Liege proofs on the slide and frame. It has all matching serials with no Liege proofs on the barrel. The slot in frame is factory original and the grips have the prewar red paint on the back. The finish is terrific, just a tiny hint of muzzle wear on the slide and a scratch from the takedown lever. It has very little actual wear/bluing loss, with only minor patina on the front strap. Terrific bore. Both magazines are WaA613 proofed, as well. The rig is completed by a scarce and excellent 1941 dated holster with sharp waffenamt and 'bdt' maker mark. Would be very difficult to upgrade this rig.
