Thanks for correcting my erroneous info, gentlemen. I didn't realize that FN had made so many (50k!) before occupation. The possibility that this barrel could be correct hadn't occurred to me, due to the fact that I'd *never* seen or heard of a barrel with a hidden serial number. It was my understanding that all of these pistols, pre-war and occupation both, were numbered similarly -- slide, barrel, and frame. Fascinating!!
