Nazi hi power $650

Is it not a capture nazi? also if I'm not mistaken he said it's a 9mm

It looks a little off but it may be a vairent of the tt-33 cheap surplus pistol. If it is its worth like 200-300$ and is a blast to shoot. And ammo is as cheap as dirt. Much like sks ammo

ummmmmm no

that is a Browing HiPower. Made in Belgium by FN under German occupation, has the German waffenmants

it looks like its in good shape, better then the one I have. Machining looks a little rough, might be late war.

I paid $700 for mine a few years ago if that helps.

incidentally most of the parts are interchangeable with Inglis BHp.

9mm nazi hi power made under occupation

Alright thanks a lot guys

Arms manufactured under Occupation used to bring lower prices to knowledgable collectors, nowadays some smuck will pay whatever you ask for it.

Getting back to the original question - any Browning 9mm Hi Power is desireable. Although the foregoing conversation would make a fellow leary of firing a Waffenampt marked example. For a collector who wants 'one of each' this is a good start on filling those gaps.

Even taking the side track conversation into consideration, I would not be worried about this particular Hi Power being of questionable quality. It appears to have been fired a fair bit, based on the finish wear on the trigger. I know some folks are hesitant to shoot old-timers such as this, but others - not so much.

I'd pitch a WAG (wild-a$$ guess) at value of around $600-700...

...and how did they gather knowledge of the things going on in the field? give me a break, that's pure fiction.

They don't need to know what happens in the field... If they know the gun will fail in 50-75 shots, that is good enough...

$800 could ask more and see what you get.

Sell it to the CAF. They could use a few more hi-powers
