This particular pistol is also I believe a WW1 bringback. I do not believe the 1905 was copied by Colt, but rather the 1906 with a thumb safety. The FN was never imported into the US, there was some agreement between FN and Colt who made an identical pistol. I will assume that lower numbers means older guns.

Also the serial number is very low, under 2700. Later revisions of the 1906 have a conventional thumb safety.

I am leaning towards it being a 1905 or a 1906 Early Model. They were either lost in the world wars or in some other way.Īt any rate this pistol is either a 1905 or 1906 Vest Pocket Pistol in. No way to know for sure as FN has no record of serial numbers. The gun is over 100 years old I estimate. I was encouraged to post about this pistol.īought it at a gun show.
