MKI/II slides need to be dovetailed, you can buy sight sets for MKIII slides.

In short:
Classic Hi Power, small sights, no internal firing pin safety humped barrel feed ramp. MK 11 first did not have the internal firing pin safety, generally parkerized finish in either black or dark green, larger rear sight a more pronounced barrel bushing which extends from the slide 1/8", ambidextrous thumb safety. MK111 No rib on the top of the slide, bushing protrudes less from the slide and nearly flush. larger front and rear sights dovetailed into the slide. more squared ejection port. Cast frame MK111's were started in '93 with the advant of .40 cal. These are recognized by lines on butt of the magazine well. Hope that helps a little. |

Short answer is no. Bite the bullet and send it off for Novak sights.

Thanks guys, according to the browning site it was manufactured in '68, I have not fired it yet to see if it needs new springs, the current recoil spring is stiff as well as the extraction spring.

The serial number does start with a T, I would say it's in fair condition, the slide as light pitting around the front of the slide and the blue on the slide looks faded or at least..it's not as dark as the frame. It is unaltered however and has the red back grips, I don't know if those are original to the gun, it came with the manual and a browning zipper case, I would post pics if I wasn't on my iPhone , if anyone wants to host pics I can email them, guess I should change my title to "What kind of hi power do I have".
The mags appear to be original as well, both are parkerized looking and are 13 rounds. |

That's exactly what mine looks like accept yours is in way better condition lol, crazy that a zippered case is $100, I'd sell it quick for that, my manual looks different from yours though.
