SOLD ULTRA RARE WaA613 ACCEPTED STANDARD .380/9mm kurz PREWAR FN 1922 PISTOL…..SEPT, 1940 PRODUCTION……..VERY SHARP

This pistol was in parts on the floor of the FN factory in May of 1940 when the Germans seized the plant.  It is a  pre war standard production .380 caliber FN1922 Pistol with the WaA613 waffenamt acceptance marking.  The caliber is .380 (9m/m Kurz) which is extremely rare.   This rare pistol is described on page 266 of Vanderlinden’s FN pistol book (we highly recommend this book). This pistol is in the very rare serial range of 288000-289000 that were the very first pistols to bear the WaA613 inspection marking.  They were assembled in September of 1940, and were the first pistols assembled by the Germans who used up the last of the .380 caliber parts.   You may also notice the horn grips as well which are correct on these pistols.  The WaA613 Waffenamted .380 FN 1922 is one of the most sought after and hardest of the Nazi used pistols to locate.  We have had less than a handful over the years and they are a huge big deal to find, especially this nice.  This variant is much much rarer than the un-delivered Dutch Contract pistols.
