Anyone here know how to find the age of a browning hi power? It came with the holster in the picture and two mags with matching numbers. Would really like to know when it was made.
Thanks for any help.

If the info in this link is correct, maybe late 49 to early 1950.

Check for Belgium Proof House chataters, you have two good PV under the right-facing rampnat lion, that can zero the proper year.

GOOD FIND, Detail it with a good cleaning and lube job.
