Found a WW2 Browning High Power in 9mm, about 90%.
Nothing special about it other than a backstrap that is fitted to attach a buttstock. Buttstock not included.
It is not NFA registered!
What is it worth.
Thanks
Walte

  Handguns cut for stock aren't required to be registered.
  
  Value of Browning is dependent on condition and originality.
  
  High quality photos would be required for appraisal purposes.

  Well as I'm sure you know the HP is noted for being produced by both allied and axis powers during WWII. Is yours a Canadian Inglis or a Nazi FN. That makes a huge difference in value. Pics would be needed too, nmeyers showed me how to do it if you need help.

  Whats next? A ban on automatic transmissions?

  Walte, the regulations on handguns either cut for a shoulder stock or having a stock mounting lug on the backstrap changed over a decade ago and these no longer need to be registered (A LOT of nice Lugers had to have their stock lugs removed after the GCA-68 went into effect). In fact your pistol, due to its collector status as a WWII High Power, is exempted from the National Firearms Act even when equiped with its correct stock (no replicas allowed).

  Serial # range and condition is going to help establish value.
  It could be Finnish (Lower serial # range) of which I have one w/matching serial # original stock.
  Many different contracts and acceptance marks and other markings will
  help distinguish these.
  Even varies as to Belgium contract for Army and Air Force.
  Nice, nice, nice Pistol.
  I have more than I need, but far fewer than I want!
