While were discussing 1922 Brownings, I picked up one at the OGCA show last weekend. It is pretty much a WaA103 marked 32, except that it has a small anchor on the left side of the trigger guard. Though I remember a discussion on gunboards some time back that this was a post war acceptance mark by the French Navy. Makes sence as they purchase 1922's prior to the war and stockpiles of captured or turned in weapons would have included them and could have been made available at no cost. But does anybody have any proof or heard otherwise?

KHN,

I have a Fn 1922 exactly like that with the little anchor! It's killing me to know what that means. I did a post in 2003 that is on page 7.......A nice french guy gave alot of good info on it.

Please let me know what you find out!

Looks like guns used by french navy (after the WWII in this case but like this for long time)
Typical markings (what's about now ?...I don't know)
