| How much should I pay for a NIB Browning Hi Power? |
Spegels alone are worth $100.00. Now if the condition of the pistol is good then it is a good price. If you could get and post the first 5 digits of the s/n then we should be able to date it and supply more info on it. Also if you can tell what the stampings on either side of the slide state that would help also. RC |

Ok, first 5 digits of the S/N are 245NW. On the right side of the slide it says "Made in Belgium" "Assembled in Portugal" and on the left side of the slide it says "Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah & Montreal P.Q." I hope that helps. As far as condition goes, I dont think its ever been fired. |
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner (I got your PM tonight). The s/n means that the HP was mfg in 1994 for Browing, the "245" designates that it is a 9mm and based on date of mfg it is a MKIII. The stampings of the slide are typical of Browning HP's that are mfgd by FN. All parts are made in Belgium and final assembly (to save production costs) is in Portugal. If it is NIB then it would likely be in the mid $600.00 price range. So if you can get it for less it is a very good deal. RC |
