The Browning Hi Power remains one of the most historically significant semi-automatic pistols available to collectors and shooters. Its combination of wartime provenance, classic ergonomics and a 13-round magazine capacity make any well-documented example a standout for a tactical-minded collection or a discerning shooter who values original condition and marked history.

BROWNING HI POWER

This specific BROWNING HI POWER, SN: 89256a, was made in 1941 at the FN Herstal plant in Belgium during the German occupation. Its wartime technical designation, 9mm Pistole 640(b), and clear WaA140 acceptance stamps on the barrel, slide and frame establish provenance that collectors require.

Historic Markings and Condition

Key identifiers—WaA140 stamps and the 1941 serial—tie this pistol to a specific period of manufacture. The bore is described as bright with strong rifling, evidence of careful use and preservation. The metal retains the original factory phosphate finish, with only moderate handling wear visible, making this an unrestored example that preserves its operational and historical integrity.

Caliber, Barrel and Magazine

9mm Luger performance

Magazine and ergonomics

It comes with original checkered wood grips and a replacement 13-round magazine, preserving the classic feel while providing full-capacity functionality common to the Hi Power’s design.
