Purchased a 1910 Browning (FN).380 today at auction. Very nice and clean and little used. I did purchase with my C&R and brought it home, but I am trying to date it, at least generally. I know they were made over a pretty long period of time, I believe up until 1954. Mine has Browning labeled grips, not FN. Does have made in Belgium on the left side of the slide, below 'Browning Arms Co.
St Louis MO and Montreal, PQ'. The S/N is 614054. I've been numerous places on the internet, but can't come up with any time frames for S/N groupings. It does have a fair number of markings stamped on the frame and barrel.
Any help appreciated. They were sold in the US as Brownings from 1955 to 1968 and were sometimes referred to as model 1910/55s. Importation ended with the GCA of 1968 along with several other handguns. I'm sure yours came from this time span with the Browning grips and Slide logo.
By looking at many on the auction sites over the last few years I have gotten some general idea of serial numbers. I have one close to yours at 6135XX and I believe this puts both at fairly close to the end of sales in the US in 1968. They are on the C&R list regardless of actual mfg date as are numerous discontinued guns. You will find that the trigger is made of plastic on late guns but I don't know when this change occured. It makes no difference with their design. Nice ones are getting pretty pricey on the auction sites. That's interesting - about the plastic trigger.
I did not know that. My gun, s/n 636xxx, no doubt has one. There is not much good to be said about the sights, but the gun itself is a nifty one. I can't say I have shot mine much. I do recall it didn't like one brand of European.380 ammo, I believe it was GECO, but that was a long time ago.
It would misfire horribly with it, and did fine with U.S.-made stuff. At the ranges the gun might be used (10-yards or less) I suppose the sights didn't concern me. I was more interested in finding a spare mag, which at that time was not easy. In its day, I preferred it to the PPK but seemed to be alone in that. I think it is about time to drag it out and warm it up again - and hope nothing breaks!
1910 Fn Browning Pistol Serial Numbers
BROWNING DATES OF MANUFACTURE 1824 TO PRESENT, First Edition by George Madis. Dates of manufacture 1955 Pistol. 1968 603891-619474. Simson: Does that book you quote also have FN manufacture dates pre-war? I have this FN 1910, #8056, which I know to be first year of production because it has the slide/frame overhang in front that characterizes these guns, but 1910 wasn't actually the first year for the 1910, the most common years being bandied about being 1912 or 1913. Does the book have anything on that? Thanks for checking.
I have two of the old FN 1910s in.32 acp, haven't seen them for a while as they are buried in the safe somewhere. As I recall one is in the 130,000 serial # range and the other is around the 225,000 area. I have no way of knowing but I assumed they were from the 20s and 30s. I didn't know the 1955 was imported in.32 until I saw a couple on GB. They went pretty high.
The sights aren't much but my 1955 does shoot to point of aim with 95 gr FMJ at self defense distance of about 25 ft. Old JB surely designed the 1910 as a defense-carry piece and went for a smooth exterior.
Taking them apart and seeing how the few parts interact has convinced me that the gun is a marvel of simplicity and the best design ever for a gun of it's type. FN claimed it was safe to carry cocked in a pocket and I agree. They are easily disassembled and the magazine safety can be easily removed if you so desire. In contrast to many other designs the 1910 was basically unchanged from 1910 until 1968 and that says a lot.
