Argentinian FN

azgunnut01 · 01-23-2008, 09:19 PM

Is there anyone out here that is familiar with High Powers? There is an Argentinian copy of a HP at an auction coming up. Is it worth pursuing and what price should I pay. Assume it is in about 95% condition.

Most of them have a poorer finish than the original FN Brownings, but they were made under licensed Contract. Value should be around 300-500 Tops as they were all re-arsenaled before being Imported.

is it an FN or FM. the FM is argentinian made, the FN is belgium made. the argentinian military and police used both. if an FM value is about $300, and FN made one would be closer to $400.
