make: fn during german occupation model: 1922 serial number: 2245c year of manufacture: 1944 caliber/gauge: 7. 65mm / . 32 acp action type: semi automatic, striker fired, detachable magazine barrel length: 4. 4" sights/optics: the front sight is a short blade fixed to the slide extension. The rear sight is a "v"-notch dovetailed into the slide. grip/stock configuration & condition: the grips are two-piece checkered wood. The grips have even light handling wear. There are a few nicks, most notable toward the top of the right panel. The checkering is generally well defined. There are no chips or cracks. Overall, the grips are in very good condition. type of finish: blue finish originality: original, numbers match. bore condition: the bore is mostly bright and the rifling is sharp. There is some light fouling and a few scattered spots of oxidation in the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 7+/10. overall condition: this pistol retains about 75% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at all edges. The balance is mostly handling wear in the grip areas and on the slide extension. There are a few light nicks and small scratches. The action shows light operational wear. The screw head is tool marked with a usable slot. The markings are clear. Overall, this pistol is in very good condition.. mechanics: the action functions correctly. We did not fire this firearm. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards. box, paperwork & accessories: includes two late war 8rd magazines (no waffenamt), and a 1943 dated model 1922 holster. The holster is missing the flap-straps, has some broken stitching and scattered wear. our assessment: this german military model 1922 pistol dates to 1944 and reflects a late-war continuation of prewar commercial designs pressed into military service. Produced during the height of world war ii, this example bears the waa140 waffenamt acceptance and the correct "c" suffix serial range, placing it squarely within documented late-war german military procurement. Late pistols of this type illustrate the practical realities of wartime production, where production was simplified resulting in more rough finish and the omission of some earlier markings, such as the waffenamts on magazines. chambered in 7. 65mm browning, also known as . 32 auto, with a 4. 4" barrel, the model 1922 was well suited to its intended role as a military and police sidearm. The . 32 auto cartridge had long been favored in europe for its controllability and reliability in compact service pistols, and it remained in widespread use throughout the second world war. approximately 75% of this pistol's original blued finish remains, with matching numbered parts throughout, enhancing both its originality and historical integrity. Accompanying the pistol is an original 1943 dated german holster, adding period-correct completeness to the set. As a matching, waffenamt-marked model 1922, this pistol offers a tangible link to late-war german small-arms production and service use. Please see our photos and good luck!
