I have a hi-power that I believe is an early Armand pistol. My dad used to shoot with Armand in Gardena. Dad said they would shoot bowling pins together with 45s and dad even had a donzi boat that I understand Armand was into. Dad said he would go over to Armand’s place and he would be watching tv and working on a pistol. Said he had each customers pistol neatly organized in its own cigar box. When I started shooting 45s, I heard dads stories so I wrote a letter to Armand but his wife replied that he had had a stroke.
Fast forward several years and my dad has passed away and left me the hi-power “Fabrique Nationale d’armes Guerre s/n 30739”
There is a stamped “s” on top of the slide and it has been textured on the top and o the front strap. He had said he has a target that Armand signed so I’m still looking for that. It doesn’t look as fancy as some of the newer 45s but I’d be willing to bet that it is a good example of where he started getting the passion to work on these. Appreciate this thread and also any input on what I might have here
