Belgian Browning 9mm

oldgray
Trying to set a ballpark value on this firearm. It looks just like the one viewed here:
http://www.panchogun.com/FV-FN-HP35-Belgium-w-Stock-Page.html
it looks to have some holster wear around the muzzel I am a novice but I would estimate the blueing conservatively at around 80-85%
I do not have the holster or the stock that fits in the slot in the back of the gun.

    My father recently passed away, leaving me with a Belgian Browning 9mm. I know very little about firearms but it looks to be in good condition. There is wear on the left barrel tip and on the right side of the trigger guard, I assume wear from the holster. I also have the paperwork from the Army when he brought it back into the country after WWII. There are two small German eagle stampings on the left side. There is a serial number on the right side in 3 places...all match. The number is 62772a.
    Can anyone give me a ball park value for this pistol? I would really love to sell it.

    Probably the most important thing affecting the value of your High-Power, is it in factory original condition?

    Here is a Browning from Pancho's excellent site, compare your pistol to it. Give us an idea on how the condition of your pistol compares?

    Although mine does not have the same rear sight as Pancho's, mine is not as worn on the handle. So, from a novice at this, I would say that if Pancho's is an 8 then mine is no worse than a 6 or 7.

    My WAG if it's in factory originial condition, as you describe, value would be between $400 - $600.

    Don't sell it until you have an expert on German weapons give you an appraisal. With the army paperwork showing it's a WWII "bring back," it could be bring much more than $600.

    Secondly, and if you hear nothing else, don't sell your father's gun. It belongs in his family as a rememberence of him and his service to his country. You may not have any interest in guns...or think you need the money it could raise, but your son, or his son may very likely have an interest. You selling the gun will rob them of ever owning this piece of the family's history.

    That's my humble opinion,

    There's nothing wrong with getting an appraisle. But as far as keepin it goes KEEP IT MAN! Even if you dont have any interest in shootin or guns. This is something special that you should definatly hold on to and keep in the family. I know I would. The gun and what it represents is worth WAY more than any dollar amount. Keep it safe.

    Listen to Rafter and never post the whole serial number for anything again. JM2C

    KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY UNLESS YOU ARE FLAT BROKE! Why would you want to sell a firearm that your old man brought back from the war????

    If you are flat broke, go to work. Don't sell your dad's gun. I have had a full time job and 2 part time jobs at the same time to keep from selling family heirlooms. If I can do it, you can too.
