Interesting...Ian Hogg & John Weeks' "Pistols Of the World" Revised Edition [1982] says that FN "continued production of the Model 1900 until some time in 1912"...

According to the 2008 edition of Anthony Vanderlinden book "FN Browning Pistols, Side-Arms that Shaped World History", Model 1900 was made until 1914. However FN shifted the marketing to the newer "Model 1910" from 1912 on, what led the wrong conclusion that the production of 1900s ended that year.

The production of Model 1900 ended because of the German invasion at the early weeks of WWI. After the war its production was not restarted, and Model 1910 took its place.
