Top E Series High Power is one of 500 manufactured for the British Army in 1951 (rumour has it all E Series pistols were issued to the secret services SAS & SBS) not true some were but immpossilbe to tell which ones. Records state serial number range this one was British Army.

Bottom Pistol is Modern copy of a Tokarev TT33 made by Serbian company Zastava called the M57 fires the 7.62mmx25 cartraige. Tokarev copied the JM Browning design of the FN 1903/1911 thats why its in our collection. We collect Brownings & Colts.

The Hi-Power will always be my favourite. Often regret not carrying on the search when looking for one for humane dispatch.

When you say “last one produced in 1968” for the Army, not with you. Of that series/model? Surely not the last one produce for the army, full stop…?

Morning SimG,

No not the last one full stop, the High Power was in use until the Glock took over in 2012/13/14

This pistol was part of the last batch that was produced by FN for the British Army in 1968.

Do you still have the Magazine I sent you.
