FN HIGH POWER, GRAND RENDEMENT, OVAL PORT BELGIAN ARMY TRIALS PISTOL. 

25-3461
Cal. 9×19
S# 763 

Bbl. 4 3/4″. The Oval Port Grand Rendement has long been considered a “Holy Grail” gun for most HP collectors. Rarely coming up for sale, production was limited to just 1100 pistols of which 1000 were earmarked for Belgian military trials, the balance for sales samples and demonstrations. This particular pistol is of standard configuration with drift adjustable front sight and early style tangent sight, graduated from 50-500, whereby the numbering is limited to the rear portion of the sight bar. Standard three-line address on left side of slide with usual proofs on left side of slide and frame with repetition on exposed barrel hood that is also marked with the caliber.

The full serial number “763” appears on the left (inner surface) of the barrel hood along with the right side of the slide and frame that is slotted for stock. In keeping with military testing, an encircled “H” appears in several locations including a double stamping on the left side of the frame. Fitted with checkered/bordered walnut grips, stained red on inner surface, and correct prewar magazine with aluminum follower, phosphate body marked with encircled “H”, and blued split-tail floorplate. MAGS: 1 13-rd.

UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: complete with original but unmarked FN board stock with attached holster with internal provision for cleaning rod.
