Back in the 1920s and '30s, Belgian citizens could own pistols, including the Model of 1922.Īlthough it was not limited to the police and military, a civilian would have had to special-order it from the factory.Since the German Luftwaffe dates from 1935, the Model 1922 could not have been 'originally designed for the German Luftwaffe (Airforce).' But, yes, some of the pilots were issued it after Belgium-and the FN factory-was taken over by the Nazis.The Model of 1910 was somewhat similar, but it was not the same (and Princip's M.1910 was in.380 ACP). For instance, it would have been impossible to have produced a Model of 1922 pistol in 1914, in time to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand.Your father was playing the right tune, but he got some of the words wrong. Robert Browning Do some research of your own. 'He said true things, but called them by wrong names.'
