    Need Info On FN 1910 Pistol

    Friend has FN 1910 pistol, .32. Has no serial number. In excellent condition, doesn't appear to have been reblued. Also has see through grips on it. New to me. I've done some preliminary research and the logo on the side of the pistol doesn't match what several sources claim I should see over the production of the pistol. "FABRIQUE NATIONAL D'ARMES DE GUERRE SA HERSTAL BELGIQUE" over BROWNING'S PATENT DEPOSE.

    Every reference I can find does NOT include the "SA" in the script.

    Anyone familiar with this pistol in terms of lack of serial number, possible date of manufacture that can help?

    Thanks!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    "...has see through grips..." As in clear plastic? Bubba did that.
    The serial number is on the right side of the frame, just above the trigger. Among other spots on the pistol. If it's not there, where you are matters a great deal. Moreso if the S/N has been removed by somebody.
    There should be no 'SA' on the slide. Can you post a picture?

    The clear grips are somewhat common. They are usually made from the windows of a crashed aircraft. Sometimes this was done as a handcraft akin to 'shell art' and simply out of creative spirit. Sometimes the grips were broken already and needed replaced.

    "Bubba" is a somewhat vague and usually derogatory term.

    I'm thinking it may have been picked up during the war and modified as suggested...? They were after all carried by Germanyicon...
