    Thumbs up FN Browning High Power M1946 – Danish Army

    Followed me home last week. Guess I'll have to keep it?
    Just acquired it two days ago, and now very anxious to expend some 9mm ammo.
    I have no idea if that finish is original or later update.

    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.

    The finish is aftermarket. They were usually blued.

    Nice pistol BTW.

    I have imported a few in to the UKicon and they have all been blued, they normally have a spare magazine with them as well.

    Thanks.
    I figured the finish was too nice to be original. But I think it sure makes for an agreeable looking piece.
    Kind of like a dark, charcoal-grey parkerizing.

    Usually use and cleaning will smooth out new Parkerising over time. I wouldn't do anything 'aggressive' to it.

    Smoothing the finish? Daily carry and lots of holster use and lots of shooting should be more than enough
