Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Yugoslavia was the first nation to adopt the Model 1922, placing an order for some 60,000 pistols in February 1923. Orders for the pistols continued into the late 1930s, with service being provided for the Yugoslav pistols at the Kragujevac Arsenal (which had been set up under the guidance of FN personnel). Many of the Yugoslav Army M1922 pistols were captured by the Germans during World War II. These captured pistols were reissued to German and satellite forces under the designation P641. Large quantities also remained in partisan hands, becoming known as the primary pistol of Tito's Army. Yugoslav Army pistols are marked in Cyrillic on the right side of the slide with the legends "Army State" or "Officer." The relatively simple and reliable design of the Yugoslavian M1922 became a great selling tool for Fabrique Nationale. It was offered in 9m/m kurz (9mm short, 9 X 17mm Browning, .380 acp) or in 7.65m/m (7.65 X 17mm Browning, .32 acp). The model began to spread throughout Europe in the 1920s and 1930s, with military, police, private security, and commercial contracts going out to Holland, Turkey, Greece, France, Romania, Finland, and Denmark. During the war-time occupation of Belgium, Germany produced more M1922 pistols than any other model at FN (1940 - 1944). Post-war contracts continued up through the early 1980s to countries such as West Germany and France. Small arms were once again depleted from the Balkan Region during the occupation of Yugoslavia in WWII, with a large number of its FN M1922 pistols being captured and pressed into German service. Other country's contract versions of the FN 1922, as well as those produced under Na-zi occupation at the FN factory, were already popular with German officers, and the Luftwaffe in particular.
Today's featured pistol is the most commonly seen version of the Yugoslavian Contract FN M1922, and has the Serbian Cyrillic stamp on the right side slide for Army (or Military) State. The Yugoslavian crest is stamped into the top forward area of the main slide.
