Very few people outside of their facilities have ever been granted access to those records.ġ) there are multiple contract pistols all sharing the same numbers. Lastly, FN is very protective of their records. I haven't studied post-war pistols as diligently but FN did not follow the same numbering schemes as before or during the war.
Still more confusing, a large number of records from FN were destroyed during the war. Pistols made for commercial sale were numbered above 200,000 and those were serial numbers.ĭuring WW2, while under German occupation, the numbering scheme was changed. Contract pistols typically included a roll mark indicating the country or department that ordered the pistols. All contract numbers were numbered between 0 (well something larger than 0 but i don't remember which number) 200,000. Furthermore, the contract numbers all started at the same number. before the war, all guns made on contract received contract numbers, not serial numbers. The "A" stamp on the trigger guard usually means 1930's production.įrom another persons post - this is what I have read before: 380? This appears to be pre WWII, sometime in the 30's is my guess. Wouldn't a 1944-45 have the waffenamt mark on it in multiple places? Let me do some looking.
