Re: Browning High Power (FN Herstal) questions
The newer ones are longer and perhaps they took gloved hands into consideration.
live out your imagination , not your history.

MK1 BHP's have this cutout along with the internal extractor.
You left the most important info out of your first pics, LOL.

Re: Browning High Power (FN Herstal) questions
Thanks for the info, I promise to do better next time! :P~ I've managed to unearth some additional info:
"Per Vanderlinden, page 345, LGK refers to Landesgendarmeriekommando - State Gendarmerie. The following two letters after LGK are for the province. Your holster looks like "NO" (the second letter is a bit smudged). If "NO" it refers to the province Niederosterreich (Lower Austria). According to Vanderlinden, in 1955 the LGK ordered about 10,000 High Powers. The pistols were marked with LGK".
