IN 98% MINT CRISP ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A TOP EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY 1ST YEARS PRODUCTION, (1901) FN MODEL 1900 PISTOL IN .32 AUTO. THIS ONE REALLY POPS WITH THE FIRE BLUE SMALL PARTS SUCH AS THE TRIGGER AND SAFETY. THE FIREBLUE WAS QUICKLY ELIMINATED EARLY ON IN 1903, SO IT’S QUITE A FIND TO SEE A GUN MADE THIS EARLY AND IN SUCH A HIGH STATE OF PRESERVATION. AS SUCH THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST AND MOST DESRIABLE FN 1900 PISTOLS WE HAVE HAD IN SOME TIME.
THIS WAS THE FAVORED PISTOL OF THE FRENCH WWI TRENCH SWEEPERS AND WAS VERY POPULAR PRIOR TO WW1 AND WAS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED IN CIVILIAN, POLICE AND MILITARY USE. FN 1900 PISTOLS ARE HARD TO FIND IN ANY KIND OF DECENT CONDITION ALMOST EVERYONE WE SEE IS VERY WELL WORN. THESE PISTOLS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 100 YEARS AND SAW A LOT OF HARD USE. THIS IS A WELCOME CHANCE TO PICK UP THE FIRST REALLY SUCCESSFUL AUTOMATIC PISTOL IN REMARKABLE CONDITION AS IT WOULD HAVE LEFT THE FN FACTORY OVER A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
RECENTLY, THESE PISTOLS HAVE SEEN A HUGE RESURGENCE IN INTEREST AND WE HAVE GOTTEN MANY REQUESTS FOR THEM. CERTAINLY, ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT 20th CENTURY HANDGUNS
