Default My favorite mfg. for German army WWII

The 1922 /32 cal.Belgium Browning(German marked) is my favorite, of all pistols, to shoot. A very simple and practical looking gun. It doesn't jam and is not ammo particular. At least the two I have.
Thanks for looking,
Joe

One of the pistols my father brought home from WWII is a FN1922 Dutch Contract Model in .380. He carried that pistol in France along with a pre war GP35 that he also brought home.
He carried them while advising the French Maquis (the Resistance).

I inherited one when my father-in-law passed away a few years ago. It has the Nazi markings and from my research, was made in 1943. Those are really well-built little guns, aren't they?
