When ever I have a chance to find an old Browning catalogue, I jump on it. I received this on Friday only to discover something very surprising. Can you guess what it is, beside that it is not in English.
Let’s see… The picture shows a post-1950, pre-1958 gun. But the catalog, excuse me, catalogue is obviously from 1958 or later.
The forearm’s finger groove has has a stop, like the first year’s? The picture isn’t a photo but a drawing or painting.
Sounds like ( my French is horrible) they are advertising alterations, refurbishments and or repairs? I see what looks like capacity recoil softness etc.
I vote that we exclude Rudolph for the next quiz. Yes you’re right it is a drawing/painting but I wonder where the artist got his model. Is it not odd. We are 50 years or more after the FN stopped to make that forearm style.
That is a Japanese made isn’t? Do you think the plan was for Browning to return to that style already in the 60’s but they postponed the idea.
It’s new, so I assume it’s Japanese. It’s chunkier than the original. So it’s probably not the answer. Maybe the artist was working from several photographs. Notice there’s just the tiniest hint of a reinforcing bump on the bottom. Although that was altered circa 1958 too, I think.
