    Anyone here know how to find the age of a browning hi power? It came with the holster in the picture and two mags with matching numbers. Would really like to know when it was made.
    Thanks for any help.

      If the info in this link is correct, maybe late 49 to early 1950.

      I have a 1950s Hi-Power with the internal extractor, thunbprint and old style mags. I'm aware that to determine its date of manufacture an expert has to examine the gun, or have really good photos of it disassembled.

          Check for Belgium Proof House chataters, you have two good PV under the right-facing rampnat lion, that can zero the proper year.

          GOOD FIND, Detail it with a good cleaning and lube job.
