FABRIQUE NATIONALE

In 1889, Fabrique Nationale (or FN) was founded by a group of Belgian investors for the purpose of manufacturing Mauser rifles for Belgian army. This was to be accomplished under the license from Mauser, with technical assistance of Ludwig Loewe of Berlin. A few years later, in late 1890s, John Browning arrived in Europe seeking a manufacturer for his semi-automatic shotgun. He had severed his ties with Winchester, after a disagreement. This led to a long association that worked out extremely well for both parties. Later Browning became associated with Colt and the world market was divided—with Eastern Hemisphere going to FN and Western Hemisphere to Colt. In this section, we list arms that bear the FN banner.

Fn Browning 1922 Serial Numbers

When I was a teenager my Dad showed me his FN 1922 which was a bring back from WWII. He did not share the story behind it.
He, while a soldier, was not a handgun person. He couldn't get it to feed right so I looked at it and figured out that he was using .32 S&W not .32 ACP! It would fire one round and jam. Once he got the right ammo it ran like a charm. Unfortunately after I moved away, before I could stop him, he turned it into the police during a NY State amnesty program.
Fast forward to today when as soon as I got my C&R I got a nice FN 1922 shooter. It was refinished a long time ago and most of the important markings have been removed or damaged. It is serial 199XXX and has matching numbers on frame, barrel, slide, and slide extension. It has three Waffen stamps (Frame, slide, barrel) but none are crisp. I'll post some pictures when I get some good ones.
The reason for my post is FN 1922 serial numbers are confusing to me and I've never seen a definitive list. From what I've read I believe my pistol is likely 1943 manufacture. Can anyone confirm?
