I know that the Germans re-configured the serial numbers to run in blocks of 100,000 with a letter suffix in late 1943 until the end of production in 1944. I understand that wartime serial numbers continued into aprox 155,000 under German occupation. I am confused concerning FN 1922 serial numbers. An interesting note is that the Browning model M1922 was produced in larger numbers than any other firearm at the Fabrique Nationale plant during the Nazi occupation of Belgium. The pistol has also been called the 1910/22 or 10/22 which is short for 1910/1922. In 1939 an additional 15,000 were ordered. In 1938, an order for 4,000 pistols was placed. Serial numbering for the initial 2,000 order began with 3000. Pistool M25 No.2 in 9mm Browning Short (9mm Kurz or.320 ACP) were for issue to the Dutch Army.
