*◊ EARLY PRE-WWII FN MODEL 1935 PISTOL, BELGIAN ARMY, MATCHING STOCK, HOLSTER RIG.

SN 10532. Cal. 9mm. Belgian Army GP35, blue finish with 4-3/4″ bbl, dovetailed barleycorn front sight with serrated rear face. Rear sight is early tangent style, with half sight bar markings, graduated to 500 meters. Backstrap is slotted for shoulder stock and it is mounted with 2-pc checkered walnut stocks. Left grip has five small pinholes, apparently where a medallion or plaque may have been attached. Right side of bbl, slide & frame have matching SNs. Bbl is a Nazi era replacement stamped with matching number and has crown “N” and double eagle/WaA 140 military proofs (inner surface). Unmarked late war/early post-war magazine with split tail base. Accompanied by an extremely rare pre-war, orig wood board stock matching numbered to this pistol. Also accompanied by a Belgian Army brown leather flap holster which is compartmented for the stock & pistol with strap & D-ring lock on the front and two brass D-rings and belt loops on the back for attaching to both shoulder straps & belt. Front flap is marked “AG 39”. Also accompanying is an orig Belgian Army hard shell 2 magazine pouch with strap & brass stud closure and belt loop on the back. Altogether an extremely fine & rare set unlikely to ever be encountered again. Most of these very early High Power pistols saw hard service during the war and are rarely ever found with high orig finish. PROVENANCE: Ex Henk Visser Collection. Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Pistol is very fine, all matching as noted above. Overall retains about 95% orig bright blue with muzzle end and very light sharp edge wear. Front strap has one small spot of wear, otherwise front & back straps retain most of their orig finish. Mechanics are crisp; bright shiny bore. Stock is fine with a few small nicks & bruises and retains most of its orig finish. Holster is sound with a few light scrapes on the flap & front edge. Overall shows light wear and retains most of its orig brown finish. Magazine pouch is equal condition. 4-52088 (5,500-9,500) – Lot 2262
