No need to apologize. I like the seeing other's guns and hearing their stories.
I used to have a FEG myself, with the same KBI importers marks. I had to sell it when I was out of work for a couple of years. Your's appears to be in nicer shape than mine was though.

Deep high polish blue and creamy holly wood grips. The prettiest gun I think I ever saw was a high polish deep blue Browning HP with sambar stag grips. I settled for these wood grips made from the holly tree. They fit and feel PERFECT. This combo holds in my hand the best of any semi-auto I have ever owned !

Because the condition of my 69c Hi Power is basically "as new", I decided to look for a shooter, so as not to worry about putting any wear on it's beautiful blue finish. Some time later, I came into an unfired FEG. This clone is a wonderful shooter. Early on I had a few shell ejection issues with it. After some research and inspection, I very carefully put a very mild polish on the chamber. That along with giving the feed ramp a polish, this thing now has functioned flawlessly for well over 1k+ rounds. The finish is really quite nice I'll add, but doesn't touch the vintage HP's fit/finish.

It's a real nice shooter. I'm going to take out the mag disconnect and otherwise leave it alone.

Had mine for 50 years, my first handgun. Lately I shoot it with my Ciener Conversion Unit.

You will be amazed at what it does for the trigger pull.

Hi powers
If you've ever wanted a Hi Power find what you want and buy it while ya can ( as of November of this year, they'll no longer be made by FN or imported by Browning). This is my current collection. Left to right; '67 "T" series, '73 "C" series, '80 Classic, '86 MKII, and '93 MKIII Sport

I can't add much to the very nice collections above. My dad had one when I was young, neither are still here. 
One thing I can say without reservation is the BHP just feels good in the hand. Hard to find a handgun that has better balance or feels better than a BHP.
I bought mine a couple years back and had it mildly customized by C&S. I bought the target version, the sights are custom Novak style night sights with Trijicon tritium inserts. The G10 grips even enhance the feel. Bar-Sto barrel, beveled mag well, mag disconnect removed with C&S trigger job, no-bite hammer, and more. Galco holster in the picture.
