FN Browning 1900

OPs pistol has been heavily polished and reblued which makes markings different to see. It could also have removed the safe/fire marking. I can see some individual trying to cover his job by trying to remark it after.

This seems like a most probable explanation.

The gun is real. The markings have been refreshed with a chisel after an extensive buffing.

As the guys say, the wear inconsistencies are pretty blatant.

By the way, nice capture piece, Martin.

I think so, not a Khyber pass type. Just been altered and refinished. Still a nice piece.

I never considered a chisel, but not that you mentioned it, that definitely seems like the tool used.

Thank you all for your inputs.
