Thought I’d share a couple neat pistols I got recently. I have a nice ruby with acceptance stars and the holster rivet, recently got a later style star 1914 and today scored a Belgian fn 1910. Real early in the 70,000s on the 1910 with Belgian military stamps, unsure if that’s ww1 or post ww1. Has the small “de” and the correct slide script for an early pistol, I tend to collect ww1 so with any luck this falls under that banner. The star and the ruby I know enough about but the 1910 was truly an impulse buy, I don’t know a lot about it that I’ve not already said.

Belgian military used the FN mod.1900 in the first world war.
Fn mod.1910 pistols were delivered to the Belgian army in 1919.
They were a replacement for the losses of FN mod1900`s during the war.

Thank you for that confirmation, unfortunate for my collection but still appreciated. Oh well, still a neat pistol plus I didn’t sink much money into it. Wont kill me to have a non-ww1 32 laying around

I had to respring the 1914 to feel comfortable shooting it, the original was extremely weak so I did some experimenting and calling. If anyone needs to respring one of these going forward, get the AMT DAO .380 or 45 acp spring from Wolff (part 30055 or 30056). Closest spring I could find, much stiffer pull and the gun still runs.

I figured I’d save the other star 1914 or 1919 owners the struggle of sourcing a good spring and post my findings. Real light slide compared to other blowback 32s so a bit harder to find a suitable spring.
