MON FEB 23, EXCEPTIONAL, IMPORTANT & ULTRA RARE NAZI SLOTTED TANGENT FN/BROWNING HIGH POWER PISTOL, WaA613 INSPECTED, SUB-VARIANT 1, NOV, 1940, MINT CRISP STUNNING!

In 98% mint crisp exceptional condition, we have a textbook & completely orthodox 100% factory original example of The Most Sought After FN made High Power Pistol, the Slotted Tangent WaA613 inspected Nazi Occupation Variant.  This is an extremely rare sub-variant 1 example with Belgium proofs and falls inside the known serial range as reported In Anthony Vanderlinden’s definitive book.    These pistols were waiting for final Belgium proofs when the Germans rolled in to the FN Factory in Liege.

In September of 1940 the German Heeres Waffenamt inspector Tennert arrived at the FN Factory and on assembled pistols such as this he put his WaA613 waffenamt on the triggerguard. Only a few hundred guns were so marked and survivors are extremely rare.  The bore is mint and the pistol is totally matching and factory original.  It has the correct pre-war pale red painted grips, and the correct original WaA613 marked magazine as well.  At most there may have been a few hundred of these made, but only a handful survived the war and relatively few of those as intact as this example.  This is one of the most sought-after German WWII pistols and a premier example as well.
