Dear folks,

I've just inherited my father's Browning 1910 model, which was my grandfather's, a former Peruvian Army officer. Since grandpa was a quemistry specialist, not really a soldier, the gun has seen little use, but the years have worn the finish, original though.

Does anyone know how to date this pistol? Any site I can search for more information? I'm not interested in its value or selling it ever, it was my grandpa's, them my dad's, now it's mine. Hope my children will treasure it as I do now.

Thanks for the input and best regards,

Rod
