Belgian 9mm question

[lew1]

Previously, I mentioned that:

Regular production of the Hi-Power commenced in either late 1933 or 1934 with the "Oval" port Hi-Powers. The "1935" date is when the Belgian military accepted the Hi-Power (which produced the modification of the ejection port from oval in shape to what we see today).

I have a Oval port Hi-Power, serial No. 2, Belgian military accepted, which is possibly one of the pistols initially reviewed by the Belgian military.


I am attaching photos of this Hi-Power.


(Apparently, I can upload only one photo at a time per message, so I will have to post additional photos to show the markings, etc.)

This is the lowest known serial number of a Hi-Power accepted by the Belgian miltary. (If you have Hi-Power accepteed by the Belgian military with a lower serial number, please let me know.)



The Belgian military markings on the left side are a little different than appears on later Hi-Powers accepted by the Belgian miltary.
