1975 FN Browning P35 Hi-Power Mark I 9mm Used

The Browning Hi-Power Pistol was introduced in 1935 based on a design by John Browning, and completed by Dieudonné Saive at Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Herstal, Belgium. The pistol is often referred to as an HP or BHP and the terms P-35 and HP-35 are also used, based on the introduction of the pistol in 1935. During WWII production was moved to Canada, as the Germans occupied Belgium, and this is where the name was changed to “Hi Power”. The name change was kept even after production returned to Belgium after the war. The Hi-Power is one of the most widely used military pistols in history, having been used by the armed forces of over 50 countries. Browning P35 Hi-Powers were first imported into the US in 1954. After 82 years of continuous production, FN Herstal announced that the production of the Hi-Power would end, and it was discontinued in early 2018 by Browning Arms. However, in 2022, presumably to compete with the sudden surge in Hi-Power popularity, FN announced they would resume production of the Browning Hi-Power. This Browning P35 Hi-Power Mark I Pistol was made in Belgium in 1975 and features a 4.7″ stainless barrel, two-piece checkered walnut grips, dovetailed rear sight, single action trigger, serrated spur hammer and 15+1 capacity
