I've spotted a very nice FN 1900 in a shop for $350.00
It only has one mag, and no holster, but it's in immaculate condition, including original grips. It's in the 45 K serial number range. I've checked around on some of the Gun Sales sites, and I think it's a good deal, but I'll throw it out to the forum for opinions and comments.
Thanks in advance,
Adler Auger

It's no secret that I also am looking for an FN/Browning 1900...From the ads I've looked at on GB, if in excellent condition (no pits), that's not a bad price...I would buy it...

Thanks. I'll get out to the shop this weekend and if he still has it I'll take your advice.
I'll keep you in mind if I decide to sell it in the future.

Post pics whatever you decide...If you pass on it, I might want to take a swing at it...

I just looked on GB to see what was available...Three 1900's I would call unrealistically priced ...one for $490...the other two look pretty ragged; one has a bulged barrel "from squib load"...

Sounds like a great price looking forward to pics.

Well, it's the same old sad story of "when you snooze, you lose."
I dropped by that shop today and without realizing it, passed the guy leaving who just bought it!
Oh well, that's $350.00 I can stash away for my next Luger.
Sorry fellas.

Best Regards,

The market is tanking. Back only a few months ago, I sold a Mauser wood stock (with crack on ridge, missing latch and a few screws, previously sanded) for $350 (plus $15 shipping?). Now, an original nice FN 1900 goes the same price ?! it's a very well made gun.
