How about this one, he is young at age of 63 yrs old, he did not spit his load yet (I call him the monk )

Nice Hi Powers. I'm guessing the bottom one is a Mk II, is the top a MK III? Or am I mis-remembering, and does the Mk II also have the external extractor?

Both are Browning HP-P35, post-war II. The engraved is the renaissance model, 1968 (per serial number) with external ejector
The blued one is also Browning HP-P35, post war II, with a finger-groove on the right of the slide, internal ejector and no lanyard loop. Per inspector proof (1951 to 1953).

Starting 1962 all HP have external ejectors.
Browning does not have good year per serial number record for pre-1954 models

Must be a French weapon. I bet it's only been dropped once.

Made in Belgium

I removed the tags on my carry gun so it fits in a holster better.
