FN Hi-Power (P-35) – Pre-WWII Occupation 9mm Semi-Automatic Pistol

The FN Hi-Power, also known as the P-35, is one of the most influential pistols ever produced. Designed by John Moses Browning and finalized by Dieudonné Saive, it set the standard for high-capacity service pistols worldwide. This example was manufactured by FN Herstal and dates to the pre-WWII / early occupation era, making it especially desirable to collectors of military and wartime sidearms.

Chambered in 9mm, this Hi-Power reflects the transitional period just before or during German control of FN’s Belgian factory. The pistol shows honest wear and patina consistent with age and service, retaining its correct profile, fixed sights, lanyard loop, and original-style wooden grips—features often lost on later refinish or postwar examples.

For collectors, this pistol represents a historically significant snapshot of European arms production on the eve of World War II. It’s an excellent opportunity to own a true wartime-era Hi-Power with strong collector appeal at an approachable price point.
