I know how you feel though, wouldnt it be nice to see it and hold it as it was when new?Nice piece by the way. I thought I would buy a 'beater' and refinish it.Then I looked at Doug Turnbull's website and saw how he does a restoration on a rare pistol like the '05's.truley a Luke Skywalker/Yoda moment. Point being can you do it justice or will it someday be subject to another wanting to do the same thing and wondering why 'somebody' did this or that.I have a special liking for Colt 1905. People said I shouldnt do it as it would 'ruin' its value.As I never intend to sell it I restored it with the help of some quality 'smiths' that knew how it would have been delivered in '07. 'To restore or not restore, that is the question.'This forum has some incredible examples of machinery being saved and brought back to better than new in some cases.I am humbled by the skill and knowledge that many members have.Many on this forum have an emotional attachment for things mechanical and many times we see the remark 'I wish it could talk'.we love our machines.To take a nice pistol as you have there and restore it requires that you really question yourself if you have the ability to come close to what its makers produced when new.Some time ago I restored a 1892 Winchester rifle that had been purchased new by my great grand father around 1907.

Browning records of serial numbers on the 1910/1955 model are vague before 1966. I've not seen a trigger like that on a 1910 or a 1922. Plating more common on an engraved 1910 version (5 or 6 (?) factory standard patterns were available over the years, probably custom at a price also). FN Factory offered blue and nickel finish as options on the 1910 (and the 1922).
The barrel is also stamped 5653 (proceeded & followed with an up side down T). The Belgian proof marks are stamped on the frame and on the barrel. I have an FN model 1910 serial number 216194 (32 ACP) in nickel. There was no interruption in serial numbers. Production was halted during the two World Wars, though a few were assembled from parts during the German occupation in World War II. The Model 1910 FN Browning was manufactured from 1912 through 1975. It was produced by FN from 1912 to 1983, but only imported by Browning from 1955 to 1968, when importation ceased after the Gun Control Act of 1968. Our Assessment: This is a Browning Model 55 pistol in.380 ACP which is the same as the FN Model 1910.
