Description
The FN Browning Model 1922 is a historically significant semi-automatic pistol that saw widespread use across Europe before, during, and after World War II. Designed by John Moses Browning and manufactured by FN in Belgium, the 1922 became a favored sidearm for military, police, and commercial users due to its reliability and slim profile.
This example is chambered in .32 ACP, the most common and practical caliber for the platform, offering mild recoil and smooth operation. The pistol features its original blued finish with visible wear consistent with age and service use, along with period-correct wooden grip panels. Its longer grip frame distinguishes it from the earlier Browning 1910, providing improved control and handling.
For collectors, the Model 1922 represents an accessible entry into early 20th-century European pistol history. For enthusiasts, it remains a well-balanced and enjoyable shooter that showcases classic FN craftsmanship.
