MODEL GUN COLLECTIONS(10) - BROWNING HI-POWER BY WE

Browning HP WWII Chinese Government model (by WE) Browning HP WWII Chinese Government model (by WE)Canada made Browning High Power 9mm pistol for Chinese government in WWII
During WW II, Chinese armed forces used a lot small arms from US, Europe, Russian, even the arms captured from Japanese enemies. Among so many weapons, I think Browning Hi-Power pistol is quite unique one.  Hi-Power pistol was widely adopted by many European countries, but the one I am talking about is the Chinese government model.

This model was made by Inglis, Canada. This model came with an adjust rear sight up to 500 meters and was able to adopt a should stock for long rang shooting. Also, it marked "中華民國國有" (Chinese Government's property). That is the cause making this small arm so special. 

Mine Hi-Power BB pistol is made by WE, a Taiwanese BB gun company.  This model is a full metal model but no any mark on it. So I paid a little extra money to get one with  "中華民國國有" on it. If you are willing to pay more, you can get a fully modified model with completed mark and the lay yard ring just like the real one.

The top 2 photos are showing the BB gun, and the bottom one is photo of real gun (the red colored mark is not a standard ) which is displayed at  Armed Forces Museum, Taipei.

Very nice representation you have there. Is there the slot on the frame for the holster stock? Are you looking at getting the original grips and lanyard ring? If so, I have lots of original gips and some lanyard rings.
