    Question A real enigma so far

    I need some help identifying and valuing this. What you see is what you get. 9x19mm and FK on the side. Not a single other mark on it anywhere. Complete strip carried out and zip zilch nada. NOTHING.

    so it is in Australiaicon? part of the adf's collection?

    any chance we could get some detailed pictures of the parts?
    something makes me think that quite a few will be modified from parts of other firearms like the nosecap.

    the FK logo is looks vaugely familiar. it makes me think of something to do with machinery parts, possibably electrical parts on machinery? don't quote me on that though.

    The buttstock looks like it came off a Reising.

    I think its a BRNO F. L. (trade name for Fr. Langenhan) First issued in 1947, as the Model 550 Overall length: 43.5" Weight: 6.25 lbs. 9mm Carbine
    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA

    Could you please provide a link to some info and/or photos? All I can find are Langenhan pistols.

    .. and Langenhan was dissolved in 1945.

    Gil, I don't see any connection between Langenhan and this curious concoction. But FK (not FL) Brno does exist as a modern company that makes a pistol with a very high muzzle velocity.

    See FK Brno Field Pistol
