[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 3435573, member: 15253"] FWIW, early Argentine Hi Power production (circa 1969-1989) was done on machinery supplied by FN of Belgium to FM of Argentina, in FM's Argentine plant, by Argentine workers trained by FN staff. As these pistols were produced under a strict licensing agreement, the early Argentine guns are all but indistinguishable from then-contemporary FN production guns, except for roll marks of course. When the contract between FN and FM expired (late 1989), FM made changes to the slide profile of the pistol, resulting in something that looked like a marriage of a 1911-style slide with a Hi Power frame. These were the M90 (1990) and later M95 (1995) designs, and they are markedly different looking pistols as compared to FN Hi Powers. As to the pistol in question, it is hard to tell exactly what it is based on just two little pics. [/QUOTE]
