Ive seen nickel followers or partially dipped bodies but not one side or bottom as you have.
Fn 1910 Lookup Serial Side AsThen one of the slide scroll (text) and perhaps serial side as well.It is Eagle N marked, nickel or chrome finish, and all numbers match. Although, the end of the slide is marked 91315 with 5 digits and the rest of the markings are only 4 digits. However, all match. Please let me know if you need any more pictures. ![]() Dan. At the time your pistol was manufactured, which was probably Feb-March of 1944, the Model 1922 was issued to military forces and would carry military markings. Your pistol is devoid of the military waffenamt on the frame and slide but carries the proof stamp eagleN. The other mark that most (all) commercial sales carry is the triangle punch on the rear of the frame. It is estimated that less than 10 of the sales were marked like yours for commercial sale. This makes the value higher if the buyer is aware of this fact. ![]() Unfortunately yours was polished down to bare metal maybe in preparation for a reblue at some point years ago. The value is quite diminished by this condition and perhaps it is worth 175 to 250. If you had the holster and the G.I. Sorry if the pics do not show it but the finish is not bare metal and is actually a bright treatment. I agree it is worn. The mag floor plate matches the either nickel or chrome finish. Was a nickel or chrome finish not production on these pistols What suffix symbol is shown Share Share. As you probably know early in wartime production there was no suffix up to serials of about 220,000 then the Germans used a followed by the b then ending in C almost midway into that series. ![]() The FN facilities just did not cater to the nickel finish as it had little practical military or police use nor did the Germans use it. What I see on your pistol (and the devil is always in the details) is the late war blue finish which was a thin blue applied over a rough metal surface. The blue finish remains in many corners and hard to reach locations such as just above and behind the trigger or above the trigger at the trigger pin and in many other deep metal rough lines. Have a close look at that trigger pin which, on nickel pistols, was left black but yours is polished white and the surrounding area still shows the dark blue. There would be no dark area around that pin on a nickel pistol. And Ive never seen a magazine with just the base plate plated.
