It's kind of old-has little waffenamt acceptance marks on it. An ancestor brought it back from the war. I had run a couple of boxes through it before I read about the sabotage of weapons at the FN factory in Herstal, so I guess it's okay. Has the 500 meter tangent sight-which seems pretty optimistic to me.


I believe that was commonly known as the "Artillery Browning".

As I understand it, the moniker was given because when one set the sight to 500 meters, the barrel was elevated like a howitzer.

Maybe also because it was issued to artillery troops?
