This pistol may be an outlier in this forum but I rather give some fellow here a shot at it before putting it on Gunbroker. This Browning FN1922 is in good condition for a century-old firearm, matching serial numbers, no import mark. It has its original holster and two magazines. The caliber is 9mm Kurtz (380ACP or 9x17 mm). This version is less common than the 7.65 (32ACP) FN1922. What's unique is the two Chinese characters on the grip (滬公)- abbreviation for "Shanghai Public Security Bureau" (Shanghai Police Bureau), probably one of their issued sidearms in the 1930s. A nice piece for a collector with Asian/Chinese interest.

$1000 shipped to your FFL (must accept from private individuals).
