FN Browning Handgun (Disabled)

FN Browning 1900, Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FN), #650713, semi-automatic, 7.65mm, 7 rounds, barrel length 105mm, leather holster. Disabled permanently.

The pistol was used by J. R. (Tiny) Shaw during his service in WWI and he retained it during ongoing service in the home battalion after the war. In WWII, as Regimental Sergeant Major 1942 – 1943, he decided to continue using the pistol rather than accept a new issue.
