The Browning Hi Power for defense
Gunner’s Journal has a very in depth post about the Hi Power pistol. Highly recommended.
Browning Hi Power Mk III
As much I as I like these handsome pistols for informal target work, small game hunting, or just knocking around in the woods, their original purpose was for “serious” matters in one area of the self-defense arena, military service. Like its Browning-born predecessor, the 1911, the single-action Hi Power’s initial reason for existence was as a military sidearm and not individual civilian self-protection. It is nice that both readily lend themselves to this, however.
Read it here.
Ron,
When the Germans overran the FN plant they took all the Hi-Powers and stamped them with the Eagle on top of the slide. They were generally more crude than ones made by FN.
You can contact FN here in the USA and see if they have the serial numbers going back that far.

I’ve the DA version; good shooter.
the CZ 75 also comes in a select fire model
I like the BHPs but I can have pretty much the same gun in a CZ75 for alot less money.
Picked up a BHP one time. Didn’t like the way it felt in my hand.
