1952 FN d'Armes de Guerre Hi-Power 9mm Blued 4.625" *HISTORICAL PIECE*

The Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre Hi-Power pistols produced in the early 1950s represent some of the most historically significant and collectible examples of the entire P-35 production run, manufactured at FN's storied Liège facility during a period when the company had fully resumed postwar production following the liberation of Belgium and was supplying its refined and battle-proven sidearm to military forces across the world. The Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre rollmark itself carries profound historical weight, representing the full formal name of the company as it appeared on military contract production during this era, a designation that connects these pistols directly to Belgium's long and celebrated tradition of arms manufacture dating back to the great gunmaking guilds of Liège. Early 1950s production examples are particularly prized among collectors for their exceptional fit and finish, reflecting FN's return to the meticulous pre-occupation manufacturing standards that had defined the company's reputation before the German seizure of the factory in 1940, with carefully polished blued steel, tightly fitted components, and the distinctive Bakelite grip panels that were standard on military production of the period — panels that over the decades have often developed a rich reddish or burgundy patina that collectors immediately recognize as the hallmark of a genuine period example and a deeply appealing aesthetic characteristic unique to pistols of this era. The serial number ranges of this production period place these pistols firmly within the post-liberation military supply contracts that saw FN rebuilding its output and reestablishing relationships with the Belgian armed forces and allied NATO member nations, making them tangible artifacts of both the Cold War military buildup and the remarkable story of FN Herstal's resurrection as one of the world's premier arms manufacturers following one of the most dramatic chapters in the history of any industrial enterprise.
