-2017 has been good to me so far. And unusual in that both acquisitions have been FN 1922s! This time I was able to find a very nice pre-war Dutch Pistool M25 No2 in 9mm Kurtz for an exceptionally reasonable price. Pistol matches, sadly the magazine does not. But that aside it's in VG condition with original horn grips. SN dates it to a large batch of 15,000, delivered in 1939, just before the war started. Highest pre-war SNs would be in the low 61k range.
-The Crown "J" mark on the rear of the frame is the inspection mark of Lt Janssen. The large roll engraved Crown "W" on the top of the slide is the royal cypher of Queen Wilhelmina. This you will find on most prewar M25 No2s and those built post war up to 1948. After that the cypher of Queen Juliana was used.
