Item Description: I'm sure you have heard of the FN/Baby Browning and the articles on the high quality build and collectability. Here is one from my collection in beautiful condition with factory checkered grips and manual. NOTE: Line through serial number in photos.
"The output of BABY pistols continued at a steady rate after 1953 until 1969, the year the U.S. Gun Control Act of 1968 took effect. The 1968 law, passed in the emotion-charged atmosphere resulting from the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Martin Luther King made illegal the import of small, personal handguns which could not meet a point system imposed by the Treasury Department. Along with the FN BABY, many other high quality handguns of foreign manufacture were forbidden to enter the U.S."
"At about the same time FN received an offer from an American company, Precision Small Parts, Inc. (PSP) of Charlottesville, Virginia, to purchase manufacture and sales rights for a version of the BABY to be made in this country. Agreement was reached for PSP to buy the remaining spare parts, and to make two models of the BABY, a standard, FN-marked model for export and a new variation to be called the “PSP 25” for sale in this country. It was advertised in a PSP flyer in 1985 as “…the most advanced and versatile small caliber automatic pistol on the market today.”
From an article by Ed Buffaloe:
"The PSP-25 is simply a Baby Browning made in the U.S. under license from Fabrique Nationale because the FN “Le Bébé” has been banned from import into the U.S. since 1968. It is no small thing for a company with Fabrique Nationale’s reputation for quality manufacture to license another entity to manufacture one of their products, but in the case of Precision Small Parts (PSP), now known as Precision Small Arms (PSA), quality of manufacture is not an issue. This gun simply exudes quality."
Finding a PSP-.25 in this condition is very rare.
