Description

This FN Model 1905 “Vest Pocket” semi-automatic pistol is a compact classic designed by John Browning and produced by Fabrique Nationale in Herstal, Belgium between 1906 and 1949. Chambered in .25 ACP, this iconic hammerless pistol was designed for discreet carry and quick access, ideal for personal defense in the early 20th century.

This particular example (serial #243471) retains approximately 70% of its original blued finish with typical edge wear and minor pitting in some recessed areas. The bakelite grips are in good condition and proudly display the "FN" logo, complementing the polished 2" barrel and matching unmarked original 6-round magazine. Mechanically sound with a clean bore, this C&R-eligible pocket pistol represents a unique piece of Browning and FN history for collectors or anyone drawn to early semi-auto designs.
