I believe this fine jewel from my collection, was produced in the late 80's when PSP (NOW PSA) started making these "Baby Browning" pistols. PSP was a Swiss Machine Shop based in Aurora, Ontario, but also had a subsidiary shop in VA. PSP had a longstanding relationship with FN, making small precision parts under contract for various FN products since WWII. In 1984, FN agreed to sell their dies, jigs, tools and parts for the Baby Browning to PSP. Precision Small Parts (PSP) manufactured the Baby Browning as the PSP-.25 from 1987-1995. Relatively small numbers were made for FN with the FABRIQUE NATIONALE slide legend and BROWNING on the grips.
Grips on the PSP-.25 are black checkered plastic and made with a bare oval at the top, but the slides marked PSP-.25. In 1997 the arms-making portion of Precision Small Parts was spun off as Precision Small Arms (PSA), with Lenn Kristal as President in Colorado. The production of the Baby Browning was halted between 2000-2003. The production of the CNC precision technology to produce the model again, started in 2006 and now making limited numbers as the PSA-.25 with more options on finishes and grips and now sell for over a minimum of $1000 each on their website.
