Fn Model 19036/19/2021
It was introduced in 1903 and fired the 920mmSR Browning Long cartridge.It should not be confused with the US-made Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless (in.32 ACP), nor with the Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammer (in.38 ACP).Due to its reliability, accuracy, light weight, and quick reloading, the M1903 was an issued sidearm for many police forces and militaries.
Norway opted for the Colt M1911 pistol in the form of the Kongsberg M1912, but Sweden ordered 10,000 pistols (designated m1907) as standard military sidearms in 1907. An additional 9,000 pistols were sold commercially before production was discontinued when the FN factory was overrun by troops from the German Empire in August 1914. Husqvarna produced military pistols for Colombia when FN was unwilling to resume production in the 1930s. Sweden had manufactured 89,230 pistols when production ended in 1942. Early Husqvarna-produced pistols included the slide marking of either Brownings Patent or System Browning. This practice was discontinued after World War I at the insistence of FN, which had been granted the exclusive right to use John Brownings name for the purpose of firearms marketing. The pistol m07 was taken out of storage and pressed into service in the 1980s as the bolts of the Lahti L-35 pistols started cracking due to the use of a more powerful 9 mm P cartridge (9 mm m39B, adopted as standard in the 1960s). This was an interim solution until deliveries of the new Glock 17 (pistol m88) were complete. FN stopped production in 1927 after manufacturing a total of 58,442 pistols; but inventories were sufficient to continue commercial sales into the 1930s. Some of the Swedish pistols were used by Finland during World War II. Surplus pistols, primarily of Husqvarna production, eventually found their way to the United States where many were modified by the importers with a chamber bushing to fire the more common.380 ACP ammunition.
