Serial numbers are used by the factory to keep count on total number of firearms made in any given model.
Browning did not break down the serial numbers of the hi-power from 1945-1954.At the end of 1954 they had made 72,250 guns and then started to register there serial numbers with production in 1955.Your browning high-power falls into the production of guns from 1945-1954,I am sorry but that is the best that I can do.
No- but if you find the serial number on the pistol, go to the Browning website. Browning has seachable production records based on model numbers, and serial numbers within that model.
Take a look at www.proofhouse.com for colt and browning serial numbers. estimated mfg. date 1975.......................
what is the value of my belgium browning serial number 751PP02500 AND is this a limited edition
SN's are available at the Browning website.
1934-1935 They were on limited production.
That serial number falls into the range of numbers 1-72250 which I can say was assigned to the Browing Hi-power from 1945-1954,and the records were not kept as to the serial numbers per year of production.You may find a more accurate production year by going to the browning web-site under customer service and looking under date your Browning.
