AIM Surplus Browning Hi-Power Fake? Advice needed on recent (2013) purchase from AIM
I am new to the forum and I hope this is the correct place to post this request for advice on a possible fake/counterfeit. Thank you in advance for reading any comments/help.
I purchased the Hi-Power from AIM recently (2013). It was listed as a European Hi-Power police trade-in. Price $359.
L series serial number on the front of the grip. No visible proof marks, anywhere on the gun, except one on right side of trigger guard. It is parked. No serial numbers on slide.
Slide is marked: Fabrique Nationale Herstal Belgique
The add for the firearm as on AIM:
Fabrique Nationale Herstal Belgique (Mfd and assembled by FN Belgium
) Steel frame Hi Power Semi-automatic 9mm Pistols. This small lot of Pistols are Law Enforcement turn-ins from Europe. Mechanically these are in working condition but expect a lot metal finish wear as pictured. Perfect for the Refinishing project. Some may have lanyard rings. Grips may vary between wood and black plastic, as well as spur and round hammer.Comes with one 13rd Magazine. Most will have numbers lined out and electro penciled as pictured.
I have spent about 2 hours reading various posts on this forum and others and it appears this could be a fake---that in fact this is FEG.
Any help or pointing me in the right direction to run down an answer would be appreciated.

The "L" serial number could very well signify a FEG sneak gun, but it could actually be a police gun from somewhere. And the FEG HPs are good pistols in their own right. While possibly not FN-made, it could still be a good base for a resto project. Did you pay an FN price or a milsurp pistol price?
