I just picked up a browning hi power T series but it seem to have conflicting info about it from its serial NO.and the proof marks. this browning is T253XXX with just a the pineapple proof mark on the barrel and the frame there also and S stamped on the opposite side of trigger guard. I was hoping someone could tell me something about it. thanks 1968 http://www.browning.com/customerservice/dategun/detail.asp?id=35 |

It is not unusual to find an HP with a serial# outside the range given by Browning or FN (neither have ever kept very accurate records) Pistols were not assembled completely "one at a time", frames were made and then built as pistols when needed. Proof marks were added before final assembly. |
