The exquisite Cased Renaissance Set is a must-have for gun collectors and enthusiasts. It features three top-of-the-line Hi-Power Renaissance pistols, each in a different caliber: .25 ACP, .380 ACP (which is the rarest of the three), and 9mm Para. These pistols are meticulously crafted and come in either a luxurious walnut presentation case, adding to their charm and elegance. While each pistol has a unique serial number, they are shipped together as a set, making it a truly unique and valuable offering. This set was available from 1954 to 1968, and it remains a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of firearms from that era.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1955, the Browning Arms Company released the Model 1910 pistol, which was renamed the Model 1955 for the American market. This model, which was produced in Belgium, was almost identical to its European counterpart, with the exception of the markings and grips. However, in 1968, the importation of this model was stopped due to stricter gun-control laws in the United States. The Model 1955, like its predecessor the FN Model 1910, is a semi-automatic pistol that operates through blowback and is based on the design by John Browning. The 1931 Fabrique Nationale (FN) Baby Browning is a small blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol designed by Belgium-born Dieudonné Saive. It is chambered in .25 ACP (6.35mm) and features a six-round magazine capacity. The pistol is striker-fired and uses a single action blowback mechanism.
This exquisitely carved set is a remarkable example of Browning's expertise in craftsmanship and attention to detail. Don't miss the chance to own this vintage set as it might be a rare opportunity that may not come again.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This set of Renaissance pistols from Browning includes the Hi-Power and Baby Browning pistols, as well as the Model 1955, which is based on the Model 1910. The Browning Hi-Power is a semi-automatic handgun that operates on a single-action mechanism. It was designed by American firearms inventor John Browning and completed by Dieudonné Saive at Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Herstal, Belgium. Browning passed away in 1926, before the design was finalized. The design was initially called the "High Power" by FN Herstal, referencing its 13-round magazine capacity, which was nearly twice the capacity of other contemporaneous designs such as the Luger or Colt M1911.
In 1955, the Browning Arms Company released the Model 1910 pistol, which was renamed the Model 1955 for the American market. This model, which was produced in Belgium, was almost identical to its European counterpart, with the exception of the markings and grips. However, in 1968, the importation of this model was stopped due to stricter gun-control laws in the United States. The Model 1955, like its predecessor the FN Model 1910, is a semi-automatic pistol that operates through blowback and is based on the design by John Browning. The 1931 Fabrique Nationale (FN) Baby Browning is a small blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol designed by Belgium-born Dieudonné Saive. It is chambered in .25 ACP (6.35mm) and features a six-round magazine capacity. The pistol is striker-fired and uses a single action blowback mechanism.
