*CANADIAN INGLAIS (CHINESE) CONTRACT HIGH POWER. SN CH1333. Cal. 9 mm. 5″ bbl. This is a real example of the Chinese contract Browning High Power pistol that was made by Inglais in Canada for the Chinese government. It has the standard Browning and Inglais roll-die on the left hand side of the slide along with six Chinese characters present. Also has black plastic grips, a Tangent sight, and a detachable shoulder stock/holster with the markings “S.A. LTD.” over “1945”. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Pistol is as near mint as one could hope to find and just shows the absolute most minute edge wear from being put in and out of the wooden holster. There are absolutely no signs of this pistol having ever been shot. The bore shows absolutely new with no markings whatsoever on the recoil shield and just a very slight rub from being disassembled for inspection. Grips are perfect. Lanyard loop has no marks on it whatsoever. Magazine has just slight rubbing from being pushed in and out and follower has absolutely no signs of having a cartridge in it. The buttstock has a couple of proof marks on the top and says “Made in Canada” underneath the web belt loop and has just a minimum of bruising throughout, primarily on the bottom. Shows excellent plus. Mechanics are tight and bore is good. Overall a Chinese contract High Power that is very complete and very close to impossible to upgrade. 4-33953 BK131 (2,500-4,000)
