Fn Browning M1922 Serial Numbers
Trigger945, During the time period your Hi Power was made, FN reused serial numbers over and over and over again. Often this was because the customer wanted their weapons serialed a certain way to dovetail with their existing inventory. There are older Hi Powers with serial numbers way lower than yours and younger Hi Powers with serial numbers greater than yours. For a good answer you'll have to take up-close and detailed photos of the pistol and all of its marking - including those inside of the slide and frame. The reason for this is that these markings had meaning and they changed at known time periods.
The presence or absence of these markings along with the physical features of the pistol will hopefully pinpoint a date. Trigger945, I have to revise my previous info on your adjustable sighted Hi Power. The front sight, while well done, is not the factory Millett Hi Power sight, as evidenced by the orange strip.
The orange front sight was not a FN feature. The Hi Power OEM Millet installations had serrated black front sights. So your Milletts are an after market modification.
Your Hi Power was built as a fixed sighed 'Vigilante' model. I apologize for any confusion - I should have clicked on the orange front sight right away.

Your Hi Power was built as a fixed sighed 'Vigilante' model. I apologize for any confusion - I should have clicked on the orange front sight right away. Not a problem. Curious though, as the orange strip looks to be a stick on strip. And the front sight is black serrated. Does this change things then? Also, this HP with the Millet sights is a Browning one per the rollmark.
The FN one is the cerakoted one. No, that doesn't change anything. That's the Millet after market Hi Power sight.
Underneath, inside the slide there's probably a double tenon holding it on, although many gunsmiths used silver solder. FN makes all of the Browning branded Hi Powers too. The only difference is the markings.
FN owns Browning. What is the serial number on the Millett Hi Power? Thanks for imparting your knowledge. As you can see, my knowledge of HP's is very limited. The SN prefix of this one is 245RN.
