serial #392019, 32 ACP, 4" barrel with a fair bore that has pitting within the grooves. This pistol has matching numbers and retains about 90% of the original blue that has faded to gray at the muzzle, on the gripstraps, and along the exposed edges. The left side of the frame is marked with a German police unit number: "K.P.D.Dr. No. 297" (with a line scribed through it). The checkered horn "FN" grips are in very good shape but the right panel does exhibit some insect damage around the top. The pistol is housed in an original brown leather F.N. flap holster that is in very good condition and is marked with a unit inkstamp under the flap as well as the name and serial number of an American serviceman who presumably brought the pistol back. Additionally, the gun comes with three magaines: two with "FN" markings and one unmarked. This is a nice, unit marked Model 1900 with holster and would make a nice addition to a collection.
