*◊ FANTASTIC INGLIS HP WITH ORIGINAL MAPLE LEAF DECAL.

SN NSN. Cal. 9mm Parabellum. Near new, WWII vintage Inglis HP, with 4-3/4″ bbl, drift front sight and slip-in 50-500 graded rear sight. The left side of the slide is marked “MK I * / BROWNING FN 9MM HP INGLIS CANADA”. A very small number of guns “escaped” the factory before having been serialed. This is one such example, in that all components have been completely & properly finished, including the inspector marks on the butt, but no SNs or final proofing. Orig black bakelite grips with bordered checkering. Correct Inglis magazine with “JI” marking on the split tailed floorplate. Such pistols have been known for years in collector’s circles, this one having previously belonged to Henk Visser. PROVENANCE: Ex Henk Visser Collection. Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Well over 99% orig parkerizing with only the most minute sharp edge wear & very superficial handling marks. No discernible oxidation or staining of the in-the-white bbl. Comparable condition grips & magazine. At least 80% of the orig Inglis decal remains on the frontstrap. An unusual & rarely encountered Inglis pistol. 4-53284 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2265
