During this period of COVID-19, I have plenty of time to visit my safe...Here is another pretty ingenius and rarely seen replica of FN Browning, this one being of Model 1910.
This pistol appears like a twin to a similar made-in-Pakistan FN 1922 replica I have posted here:

Their only significant difference is in fact the length of their slide.
This pistol would have been made in the Peshawar area, likely in Darra Adam Khel, known as the "Village of Illegal Gun Manufacturers", in Pakistan.

Interestingly, it appears to be a hybrid design of FN and Colt 1903.
Characteristics: screwed slide extension; Colt-type ejector; Colt-type firing pin with an internal hammer rather than a striker like on FN; unusual mag well dimensions vs standard FN; an FN 1910 mag is too short to fit in it, while an FN 1922 mag is too long; homemade FN-type grips; faked Belgian/Liege proofs. Regarding the legend on left slide, it is approximate, as usual on other Asian copies of FN pistols.
For your appreciation, fellow collectors.
