RARE FN HIGH POWER, UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC CONTRACT
25-1626
Cal. 9mmP
S# 101460
The FN High Power was an extremely popular pistol that was adopted by many militaries around the world. Many insisted on having their pistols marked with the national crest, as true for the Syrian contract guns. This fixed sight example, made in approximately 1962 based on the later form slide without thumbprint but still with internal extractor and ring hammer, has a bold and readily identifiable crest on top of the slide; just forward of the rear sight. Other than the crest, the pistol presents and is marked as a standard production gun, the left side of the slide having a 3-line address and the usual proofing appearing on the left side of the slide, left side of the frame, and over the exposed chamber. Full stacked matching serial numbers on the barrel, slide and frame. Fitted with black plastic checkered/bordered grips without provision for lanyard ring. Correct magazine with aluminum follower, phosphate body, and black painted floorplate. No import markings!
PROVENANCE: the Estate Collection of Charles Wagner.
