Fn 1910/22 Serial Numbers
I had one, made in 1967, traded it quite a while back. Used it as my secondary weapon on my first cop job(back in the stone age!) It worked good in both calibers.
I recently acquired a shootable example of Browning s svelte little police pistol, the 7.65mm FN 1910. Gun s serial number FN 1910 serial numbers had. FN Model 1910/22 Serial Number. Browning 1910 Pistol Serial Numbers. Gun s serial number FN 1910 serial numbers had. FN Model 1910/22 Serial. Guns with serial numbers that have letter.
I only shot it in.32 once or twice, but I put a bunch of.380 thru it. If your has no value as a collector.all you have to do in most cases is polish the ramp and it'll feed hollows like a champ. I normally use a drum on a dremel.start with 360 grit and end with 500. Finish it off with a little burnishing drum and simichrome polish and it'll look like a mirror. Don't worry about the mainspring, it'll work for both.
Yes you can change the barrels from 380 to 32 auto or vice-versa. Sometimes the same magazine will work both ways. These are recoil operated and the recoil spring should be changed every few 1000 rds. As far as for protection stick with ball ammo for penatration. Use FIO or SB its hotter.
With these loads the 32 auto will best 1000fps and get 15' penatration. The wolf spring works great. Both my wife and I carry 1910's. I had a pancake holster made for mine and my wife use's a Galco belly band at 5 o'clock. Both with ball 380 and ball 32. I prefer the 32auto 1910. It was John Brownin's favorite pistol and he had it on him till the day he died.
Great accurate fast shooting automatic. Don,t waste your time on HP ammo it's ineffective in these cal's,go for the pentration. And yes the 32 auto will out penatrate a 380 ball rd. For this reason the German military picked the 32 auto over the 380 for military service. The round had to go through a horse's skull to put it down and helmet. The 380 would not. Well, since this thread is about the FN-Browing 1910 I thought this new topic might interest everyone.
Does anyone know much about the FN-Browning 1910 v. DWM Model 22 comparison? It appears to be common knowledge that the DWM Model 22 is a copy of the FN 1910. But how close a copy?
What parts will interchange? Attached are some photos of my DWM Model 22;.32acp pocket hammerless. This is an early model (circa 1910) with the walnut grips. I welcome your comments. Thanks, Jack Whoops! My DWM was made in 1921 not 1910. In Da Club Torrent. It is a copy of the FN Browning Model 1910. Grammar Rock Game there.
Ok I know the picture quality is bad but have not purchased this yet and just took pics with my phone. This little model 1910 was brought home from Europe in the 50s. It has no serial numbers.
I read once of a contract for Germany for approx 3k of these for secret police but now cannot find reference and it was so long ago I might have wrong country. If anyone knows the story of no serial number FN model 1910 I would greatly appreciate it. He had some other military left to him and I bought all but this one. So if anyone know a value I would also appreciate that. Thank you for your help. Ok I know the picture quality is bad but have not purchased this yet and just took pics with my phone.

Thank you for your helpNo idea of what they would be doing without S/Ns, but doubt for secret police. Perfectly Clear 1.6.2 Serial Number. Maybe for foreign intelligence who might feel the need for a sterile gun, though better to have ordinary civilian guns from the time between the wars - which would be extremely easy to acquire by a government of one of its agencies. Close up pictures would be a great help to us. My first thought was that it was made right after the Germans abandon the FN factory near the end of the war. That would have also been before the Liege proof house was back up and running.
However, I don't know that there were any Model 1910 pistol parts made during the war other than what was interchangeable with the Model 1922. Perhaps an early post-war 'lunch box special'?
I seriously doubt that FN would manufacture and sell pistols with no serial numbers. Any 'sterilization' would have been done after purchase and would have required refinishing if it was for an organization. If it was done by a criminal there would be evidence of that because criminals wouldn't go to the trouble to finish it. The grip logo looks pre-1950. You might check the BATF laws about owning a pistol with no serial number before you purchase it. Maybe it's legal & maybe it's not.
