Wow!! What a truly beautiful FN1900.It’s got just enough wear to look truly authentic. I love finding guns like this one. It reminds me of why I started collecting Auto 5 s in the first place,and being an FN rifle,it’s that much better!
It has that distinctive Belgian Blue finish that I’ve loved for over 40 years.
Congratulations on a fantastic addition to your collection.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Thank you, after I was fortunate enough to get the ribbed barrel 1900 I never thought a plain barrel would come my way.
Barrel is taken down and all is very nice with a typical somewhat dark bore due to corrosive primer ammo of the day in Europe. Cleaned up pretty well.
Will post more picks when I finish dissesembly.
