Development[edit]

The FN Model 1910, also known as the Browning model 1910, was a departure for Browning. Before, his designs were produced by both FN in Europe and Colt Firearms in the United States. Since Colt did not want to produce it, Browning chose to patent and produce this design in Europe only. Introduced in 1910, this pistol used a novel operating spring location surrounding the barrel. This location became the standard in such future weapons as the Walther PPK and Russian Makarov.

It incorporated the standard Browning striker-firing mechanism and a grip safety along with a magazine safety and an external safety lever (known as the 'triple safety') in a compact package. Offered in both .380 ACP (6-round magazine) and .32 ACP (7-round magazine) calibres, it remained in production until 1983. It is possible to switch calibres by changing only the barrel. However, FN never offered packages containing a single pistol with both calibre barrels.

Variants[edit]

FN Model 1922 7.65mm

A variant of the Model 1910 was known variously as the Model 1922 or 1910/22. This was a larger model with a longer barrel (113 mm), slide extension, and a longer grip frame to accommodate an extra two rounds. This model was aimed at military and police contracts and many examples were produced for various agencies. The FN Model 1910 was initially designed for the Kingdom of Serbia. In 1913, a purchase order for 235, Model 1910 semi automatic pistols was made by the Serbian National Army. The purchase was made for the 1st and 2nd Timok infantry divisions of the first army.

1910/1922 pistols went on to see extensive service in World War Two, and continued to be manufactured by the Germans after their occupation of Belgium and seizure of the FN factory. These examples carry Nazi production stamps, and most have simple chequered wood grips instead of the earlier horn or plastic grips bearing the FN logo.

The FN Model 1922 was also used by the following countries: Yugoslavia (60,000 Automatski pistolj (Brauning) 9mm M.22 between 1923 and 1930),[1] The Netherlands, Greece, Turkey, Romania, France, Finland, Denmark, and West Germany in the post war period. While the Model 1910 was widely sold on both civilian and military markets, the Model 1922 was considered specifically a military and police pistol, with FN offering it to individual civilians only by special order.

In 1955, the Browning Arms Company introduced the Model 1910 pistol for the American market as the Model 1955. Made in Belgium, this model was virtually identical to the European model except for the markings and grips. Importation ceased in 1968 due to the passage of stricter gun-control laws in the U.S.

Another version, the Model 1971, featured a longer barrel and slide (similar in length to the Model 1922, but with a one-piece slide), adjustable sights, a finger-rest magazine, and enlarged 'target' grips. These features were intended to comply with the Gun Control Act of 1968 which had halted import of the Model 1955.

North Korea made copies of the Model 1910 without licence[citation needed] as the Type 70 pistol. The weapon is made not only for domestic use but also for export.

The Hamada Type or Hamada Type Automatic handgun (浜田式 Hamada shiki?) was a semi-automatic pistol developed in 1941 for use by the Empire of Japan during World War II. Developed by Bunji Hamada, the pistol took its basic design from the Model 1910 Browning. Production occurred at the Japanese Firearms Manufacturing Company, with only minor changes made as the war progressed.

Incidents[edit]

Gavrillo Princip's FN M1910, used to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo

An FN M1910, serial number 19074, chambered in .380 ACP[2] was the handgun used by Gavrilo Princip to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, the act that precipitated the First World War.[3] Numerous previous sources erroneously cited the FN Model 1900 in .32 calibre as being the weapon Princip used.[4] This has led to confusion over the calibre of the pistol actually used.

Search for the serial number on the front of the piano. A Kimball serial number will most likely be a six-digit number, with the exception of models produced in 1900, which feature the five-digit number 71000. Open the lid of the piano and look toward the left of center of the tuning pins. The age of your piano is determined by the Serial Number. Pianos also have numbers other than serial numbers, such is the case with part or patent numbers. Some pianos do not have serial numbers when they are manufactured as 'House Brands' for large retailers. In comes the Kimball Piano Company, which was by now struggling to cope as a result of financial mistakes by Kimball Jr. It had gone from the top piano maker in the world to the seventh. 'Music for The Millions' Mr. Habig purchased the company in 1959 and moved it to West Baden Springs in Indiana in 1961. Kimball piano serial number lookup.

Paul Doumer, President of France, was assassinated by Russian emigre Paul Gorguloff on May 6, 1932 with a Model 1910.[5] The pistol is now in the Musée des Collections Historiques de la Préfecture de Police.[6] A Model 1910 was also used to assassinate Huey Long, governor of Louisiana, on September 5, 1935.[7] During the world wars, the FN 1910 was used by the militaries of Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Finland, Japan (private orders for Japanese officers), and by Peru and Venezuela postwar.

Serial number[edit]

This page says that the specific serial number of the gun used to kill Franz Ferdinand was unknown, but the actual page on the assassination states that it was serial #19074. Just thought I would point out the discrepancy. 99.235.254.183 (talk) 15:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Mainstream references identify the Princeps pistol as an FN Browning model 1900 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.198.83.157 (talk) 19:34, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Fn Model 1910 Serial Numbers

The article on the assassination indicates the weapon used was chambered in .380 ACP, but this article states the .32 ACP. Which is correct? --Surv1v4l1st(Talk|Contribs) 21:29, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

The sources I could find say .32 ACP - I don't have access to the source used on the other article. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 21:55, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I've always read .32 ACP too. I found the book cited (The Assassination Business, ISBN0786713437) on the Archduke article on Amazon. A quick search inside produced three hits on 'Browning.' Only one of which says '9mm' (presumably the author meant 9x17mm). A search on '.380' produced one hit and it was a total unrelated event in contemporary times. So, I am inclined to think this article is correct and the other needs updating. Thoughts? --Surv1v4l1st(Talk|Contribs) 23:02, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
I did a bunch of research and the best I could understand was the .32. I think that there are some who believe that somehow newer information exists that it's the .380 but I couldn't substantiate it. I'd prefer that all match and be sourced properly. If we get new sources that override this info, then we could fix it all at the point. Go with the WP:RS is my vote. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 00:53, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
I provided a reference to a book I own. I'll quote here: 'Fifty years earlier, two 9mm bullets from a browning pistol, serial number 19074, were enough to open up the vast subterranean crevasses concealed under the highly polished veneer of European Civilization.' He has a source. Further, [[1]] constitutes original research, however fully corroborates the reference. The confusion has been poorly researched works in the past. Browning's biography by Gentry states it was a M1900. All of the sources that state it's a .32 were derivative. Given the above original research and the reference I provided, I think it's highly unlikely it was a .32 caliber. --Winged Brick (talk) 14:41, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
