Friends,
For those who may be interested, I am posting here a list of the serial numbers of all FN 1905 pistols that I have observed or seen reliable reports of. These numbers are taken from online auctions, dealer stock, reports from private collectors and various published sources.
Special acknowledgement goes to Anthony Vanderlinden, author of FN Browning Pistols: Sidearms That Shaped World History, whose serial number list of Russian contract marked pistols, police-marked pistols (and others) is incorporated into this master list, and to member Jason (jtshafiz), whose list of observed 1905 serial numbers is also incorporated here.
Any additional reports are most welcome.
Note: In the descriptions, 'no safety' means no manual safety lever - trying to be brief so as to keep most of the entries on one line if possible. Also, remember that some of the descriptions/notes next to the serial numbers are not my own, so in some cases I may not be prepared to support or interpret them since they are occasionally copied as they were furnished to me in deference to the contributors.

Fn Model 1905 Serial Numbers

The question is: is that a legitimate variation? After all, FN switched to this variation at # 180,000, and the gun is # 23253X. Or shall I be concerned? Paid $300 for the gun. Is it an ok deal? The pictures are in the following order: 1. Usual model 1905, 2-nd variation 3. Picture of a gun like mine, with the older trigger style.

FN Browning Model 1905 / 1906 vs. FN Baby Browning: The Model 1905 is often referred to as the Model 1906, generally in the U.S. It is known for its first patent year '1905' while in Europe, 1906 refers to FN's first manufacturing year. This model is also commonly known as the Vest Pocket model. The FN Model 1905 (from its patent date) or FN Model 1906 (in European countries due to its date of manufacture) was a pistol manufactured by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal from 1906 to 1959. It is virtually identical to the Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket, which was based on the same John Browning prototype, and was the inspiration for FN's later Baby Browning design.
