FN 1922 Local Gun Show Find

HerrKaiser · 03-27-2021, 11:21 AM

Found this FN 1922 today at a local show for $300. .32 ACP, SN 37886 on the 3 major parts I can see (have not had the chance to take apart further, yet). Just looking for more info on it and wondering if I got a good or bad deal. I am happy to just get to a gun show for the first time in a long time.

Looks like a nice original example for $300 I would say you did good.

I think you stole it.
The 32 ACP is a highly under-rated round. The Axis powers used it heavily in 2 world wars preferring it to the 380.

.32 was more ubiquitous in its day than 9mm is in ours.

Saw one posted on gunsinternational in what was advertised as all original, looked good in pics, wanted $1300. Don't know much about these pistols but I think for $300 you did great! Congrats!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I don’t really know much about these, I just figured that $300 in this market was a deal I should jump on, even if this one is just a shooter grade gun in the end. Is Anthony Vanderlinden on this site or will I need to post this to the other luger forum for his expertise?
