One of two C&R pistols recently acquired, an interesting German occupation FN Browning 1922. I may be wrong but everything seems to fit (model).

The 'Star E' is the inspector mark for Jamart Auguste, an FN inspector from 1924-1959 and provided the final inspection on the barrel/firearm.As for the Circle S, there are a couple of possibilities. 'Crown E.L.G.' Is the Definitive proof barrel proof. The washed out horizontal is the caliber accompanying that candle stick. The little thing that looks like a 'candle stick' is the caliber proof. 'Crown R' proof is used on a rifled barrels produced since 1924. The weapon was designated as the 'Browning Model 1922' but would also become known by the name of 'Browning Model 1910/1922'. These production models were applicably stamped with German markings to indicate their fate. The Browning Model 1922 design was born of a specific Yugoslavian semi-automatic pistol requirement and based on the existing Model 1910. The barrel has been struck with common Prewar Belgium proofs. Strictly speaking, it's neither a 9mm (how most label the Luger/Parabellum round) or a Browning (no 'Browning' name/logo/address) - it's a.380ACP/9mmKurtz (short) and it's strictly an FN, since the Browning versions weren't made until 1955 (over 30 years later than the DOM of your FN).The proofmarks are the normal Belgian nitro proof variety, that all FN's (and Brownings, since FN made those Browning pistols) carry.I have no clue, about 'S'/Yugoslavia markings - but would WAG that if that's what it has, then it was once a Yugoslavian military or police issue arm.
