Finally received the ppwk for the FN 1900 and the Walther PPK.
Picked them up last friday.

Here's the pix of the FN 1900.
It's in perfect condition, I'd judge 90%+ of original finish left.
Neat pistol, I've always wanted one ever since I first saw it in a museum. it has that special turn of the century look.
Paid 300 for it. And yes, the blue pen was optional...

Looks nice. If you could shrink your photos they probably would be a lot clearer.

There! I have adjusted the pics! 8-) There's a sticky in the campfire forum for resizing pics - works like a champ!! :bigrin:

The grip frame angle reminds me of a Dreyse 32.

Sweet pistola, Andrey!! You've a nice one there!! SW

O.K.
I'll try to resize the pix of the PPK and then I'll post those too.
Can you believe I actually found a spare magazine for the 1900 in my stash of Browning 1910 mags !

BRGDS, A

Tried to resize the pic, but I can't figure it out.
Someone will have to explain it to me real slowly ...

But aniway, here's the "fullsize" one.
Please feel free to adapt it.

The pistol is new, unfired (well, it was until last friday ...), in the original factory presentation box. Also got the original manual with it.
Asking price was 500, but haggled for a 10% discount because of a deep scratch under the ejection port. Other than that it's 100%.
Now i've got to figure out the year of manufacture.

Best regards,
A

I like it!! My PP has the year of manufacture on the barrel but that might just be for importation into America.

Fixed the pic, too. Using the link in the campfire, scroll down to the resize prompt. Use the browse prompt to select a pic from the file in your computer. Choose what size. I went with 350, but the next larger should work, too.

Right click the resized image & save to your pic file with a new name. upload here as you normally would. Easy as pie! :bigrin: SW

Very nice looking pistols. You're right, the Browning does have somewhat of a Dreyse look to it. I already have an East German and a Kirikkale PP, but maybe it's time to defocus on rifles and refocus on pistols. I really need a Browning 1900. Come to think of it, I don't have a PPK either. . .
