Overview of WWII British/ Canadian, Browning-FN No. 2 MK I*, 9mm Luger, Semi-Auto, SN - 1T1030
Item Details
Relatively few weapons were used by both Allied and Axis forces in World War II. However, one handgun was virtually unique in that it was used by British and German forces who faced each other in combat – the Browning High Power pistol. The version originally sold by Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FN) from 1935 was identified as the “High Power.“ In 1954, the pistol was marketed through the Browning Arms Company (BAC) in the US, a subsidiary of FN. At that point, it became the “Hi-Power” to distinguish it from the High-Power hunting rifle also sold by BAC. The original design work on what would become the High Power pistol was started in the early 1920s in response to a French military requirement for a Grande Puissance (High Power) sidearm. This didn’t refer to the shooting power of the pistol but to a requirement for a magazine which held at least ten rounds of 9mm ammunition – more than any contemporary semi-automatic service pistol. In response to the French requirement and on behalf of FN, John Browning produced and designed this full-size military sidearm with a locked-breech recoil system and a double column, sixteen-round magazine. By the early 1930s, he had produced a revised design for a single-action pistol with a double-stack magazine holding up to thirteen 9mm Parabellum rounds and featuring a complex trigger mechanism which extended up into the area of the slide in an attempt to keep the grip as slim as possible. The design was completed in 1935, and FN released it as the FN Model 1935. Around 35,000 High Power pistols were manufactured in Belgium up to 1939, and were largely used by Britain/ France, although Belgium was officially neutral in WWII. On May 10th, 1940, German forces invaded Belgium and the FN plant was captured virtually intact. At this time, FN Herstal continued to build guns for the Allied forces by moving their production line to a John Inglis and Company plant in Canada. Inglis High-Powers made for Commonwealth forces were designated the 'MK 1' and later the 'MK 1*. This British/ Canadian No. 2 MK I* is marked: "BROWNING-FN 9MM, HIGH POWER, INGLIS CANADA" on the left side of the slide; "No 2 MK I*" stamped directly above that. The right side of the pistol is stamped with the matching stacked serial numbers on the barrel, slide and frame. The right side of the frame has been stamped "AF" which is believed to represent a No I MK I conversion - i.e. this gun may have originally been a No. 1 MK I and was factory converted/ updated during wartime to a No. 2 MK I*. This factory conversion would have included various new parts, new matted black finish, high hump fixed rear sight, and black plastic grip panels. Other features include a 4.75" barrel, dovetailed #3 front blade sight, round serrated hammer, lanyard ring and 13-round steel magazine that is stamped "JI". The factory black matte finish on this gun is not pretty, but this gun does appear to be original, has a sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order.

- In order for an auctioneer to utilize ProxiBid's new ATG Payment System, the buyer’s sales tax (for the state in which they live) is automatically deducted. There is no way to bypass this feature for an auctioneer. Many states now require sales tax for auction items, but not all. If you live in a state that has passed an Auction Sales Tax Law (which most have in the past few years), the system automatically deducts your states percentage. If you live in a state that does not require sales tax on auction items, no tax will be added. Also, if you have a State Tax Number, you can register it with ProxiBid and no sales tax will be deducted. This new software is designed to make payments easier for the buyer and take the burden of the required sale tax off the auctioneer.
