[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 3036784, member: 15253"] As a collector piece, I have no idea. As a shooter, probably not what they're asking for it. Hi Powers are fine weapons, but get the much more modern MKII or MKIII versions if you want a shooter. As said above, when the Germans overran Belgium in 1940, they took over the FN plant, turning out HP's for the Wehrmacht. Late in the war, the production of shoddy weapons was quite common. Counterfeit Nazi-proofed guns are also quite common. Nice as a historical curiosity, but I would stay well away from buying it. [/QUOTE]
