Early 1950's era FN/Herstal high-powers are sometimes found with matching magazines and police style black leather holster. Most of these serial numbers are hand etched on the mags and hand inked inside the flap of the holsters. Occasionally a holster/magazine is found to have an embossed serial number matching the pistol found with. Question I have, would a pair of matching sn# "embossed" mag base plate, that matches a pistol sn#, carry any special significance or extra value? Was this an early post-war feature or just a random special order requirement of a particular agency or police department? The pistol is a 30,xxx sn# gun which could be late 40's to early 50's, a guess based on how FN sent out various contracts. Still, would a matched pair of mags w/embossed sn# base-plates signify an earlier era pistol, i.e. late 40's? Thanks to the FN/Browning historians who can illuminate on this issue.
