The pistols were delivered 1951 to 1953 and fall into the 30000 to 59000 serial range. On lower-numbered guns, the magazine bases were serial-stamped. Later, the practice stopped.

In support of comments above, additional information and pics: The holster is hallmarked "Rotgerber Lederwaren, Odenkirchen".
Odenkirchen(part of the state of NRW)is a small German town just west of Düsseldorf, Germany, capital of NorthRhine-Westphalia or NRW. This police style black dyed hardshell is serial# matching to the FN High-Power pistol pictured, as well as are two factory magazines. Nice rig in fantastic condition. Thanks again to all contributors of this thread.
