The Germans dropped features like the tangent sight, attachable stock cutout and the magazine disconnect in an effort to save on time, money and resources toward the end of the war. It features a 5 digit “b” suffix serial number, WaffenAmts, and fixed rear sight instead of the earlier tangent style sight system. This specimen was made just before Belgium was liberated by the Allies. Its double stack magazine design itself has gone on to be used in virtually all modern double stack handguns.
Not only was the pistol influential before and during the war, but after WWII it was adopted en masse all over the world by an estimated 50 militaries. The result was a 13-round double stack magazine pistol in 9mm. The Hi Power was designed by the famous John Moses Browning, and brought to completion by Dieudonné Joseph Saive after Browning’s death on November 26, 1929. The Hi Power is a very interesting example of a WWII handgun used by both the Allies and the Axis Powers. Here we present a Nazi German FN Browning Hi Power P35, made circa 1944, near the end of World War II in soon-to-be-liberated, German occupied Belgium.
