WWII era 45 - Value?

jrzvike
I was shown a Fabrique Nationale D'Armes De Cuerre 45 Cal. pistol. Left to him by his father who served and brought the weapon home from WWII. Also engraved on weapon:
Herstal - Belgique
Brownings Patent DePose
Weapon is in good shape and comes with what appears to be the original black leather belt holster. Weapon has walnut grips that are worn...
Can anyone shed any light regarding this weapon?
Thanks,
Jrzvike

    Yup, not a .45, not a 7.65, but a 9mm FN/Browning P35 or High Power.

    This is what is know as a model 1935 or Browning High Powder. WW II vintage but I believe the holster is originally for a Luger.I suspect it is chambered in the 9MM cartridge. You really need to do some work to remove rust "WITH SOAKING the pistol after removing grips in Kroil wrapped in paper towel wet with Kroil and inside a zip lock bag for 24-72 hours."

    EDIT value as is $350.00 + or - sell the holster as what it is a Luger holster cleaned up with some Ballistol $150.00+ depending on what is written on inside of flap.Then clean pistol with Kroil and value of pistol $500.00 + as far as serial numbers most times they started over after they reached 99999

    I appreciate the information. Thanks for the responses. Any idea of the value of the weapon? Looks like there were quite a few of them made...

    Thanks again,
