Category : B

Caliber : 9x19 / 9mm Parabellum

 

This HP35, produced by FN [Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre] in Herstal, is part of a batch of pistols delivered to the Austrian Gendarmerie in the 1950s.

This low serial number first type version with internal extractor bears several distinctive features, including a specific sight line and the absence of the oblong notch on the slide right side front.

This 9x19 [9^mm Parabellum / 9^mm Luger] automatic pistol bears the marking "LGK ST 1697" for "Landes Gendarmerie Kommando Steiermark Nummer 1697".

This same marking is present on each of the magazines and appears also on the label attached to the original FN box.

The gun is in superb condition and appears to have seen little live fire, even though it was carried on duty.

The barrel is absolutely perfect, near mint, and the superb factory slow rust bluing is largely preserved.

This beautiful pistol comes in its original box with a spare magazine, all items bearing the same serial number.

 

This FN HP35 is covered by our full warranty.
