Browning HP 35

I would think that it would be late 1940.

Although the Germans took over the factory in May of 1940, they acquire all of the existin military weapons. So a need for immediate production did not exist.

If the serial number on the barrel matches the serial number on the frame and slide, would you be so kind as to tell me the location of the barrel serial number.

Can it be seen thru the ejection port or is it on the reverse side of the barrel ?

(I have #s 51662 and 51998. The location of the barrel serial number varies between the two and I am trying to determne where the change occured.)
