Baby Browning- year?

[drmajor]

I have a Baby Browning, .25 Auto which came via my dad. I am trying to learn its age/vintage.

SN-149***

So it's older than 1955?

Older, yes. More research is needed. Google its history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_Baby_Browning

Edit add , from link.

FN manufactured and marketed the Baby Browning pistol from 1931 until 1979, though exports to the USA only took place between 1953-1968.

I have a clone/copy, made in Spain. All steel.

1957-58 I'd say

Mine is Belgium... Not the most fun with my size 13 hands!

Does your gun have- "FN" at the top of the grip plate in a circle and the word "BABY" at the bottom of the grip plate under a raised crescent?

1957-58 I'd say

Me too, 1957 by the amount produced each year.

I see no FN except on magazine.

Then its a 1957 year model. My best guess.
