Medalist semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Browning in 1966. The left side of the barrel is stamped "BROWNING ARMS COMPANY" with the right side being stamped "MADE IN BELGIUM 22 L.R.". Bottom of barrel is stamped with "BROWNING'S PATENT" as well as several Belgian proofs. Belgian proofs are also present on the front of the slide as well as on the butt. Features include a blue finish, 6 - 3/4" heavy barrel, vent rib, target adjustable rear sight, blade front sight, as well as a checkered walnut thumb rest grip. Pistol is accompanied by a factory case featuring a red velvet interior and containing its cartridge block, weights, and screw driver. Case lid's nameplate is blank. CONDITION: Excellent, with metal components retaining bountiful amounts of their original factory blue finish, exhibiting only a few minute marks from handling and storage. Mirror bore, showing well defined rifling throughout. Checkered walnut thumb rest grip is very good, exhibiting some scattered handling marks overall. Case shows areas of external wear all around, with some fraying at the edges and wear through the black wrap to wood on the corners. A nice example of an exceptional .22 LR target pistol. MLW
