Hello All,
Not much of a gun collector. I received this gun from my grandfather's estate. I don't have any idea how he got the gun, however, I am sure he had it for many years.
I believe the gun is a Browning Model 1922 and it is a 9mm.
I've taken a bunch of pictures, which you can find here:

The gun's serial number is 2474##
Regarding markings, most of them are clear in the pictures. There is a "C" and an apostrophe on the trigger guard. Also, on the inside of the barrel (the shaft inside of the barrel) and just below the barrel, are 5 sets of markings:
1) A dragon or griffin
2) A line
3) The letters "PV"
4) The symbol "+"
5) A capital letter "N"
Also, below all of this, only the shaft, not below the barrel, is something that looks like a pineapple, with an E, then an LG below it.
I'm looking for information about this gun, and it's possible value to a collector or a museum. Any information will definitely be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Budman
