My friend has what he says is an Israeli FN Hi Power he bought some years ago surplus for $499.00. I don't think it is really a Hi Power but I have never been a HP fan. It has all matching serial numbers on the the frame, slide and barrel + on the left side of the trigger guard it has an M and on the right side of the trigger guard what looks like a pineapple. The slide is marked Fabrique Nationale Herstal Belgique Browning's Patent Depose. Has a tang hammer and Novak sights and a slim safety. also no mag disconnector. On the rear right side of the frame it says A.E. Co N.Y.C. I can not find anything as to who A.E. Co was. It came with a brown flap holster that holds 1 extra magazine that looks like what the German P-38 used in WW2.
Is this really a HP and what is it worth these days? Could not attach pics kept saying file too large but if you know how to make the pics smaller let me Know I only have what came with Windows 10.

Abercrombie & Fitch was big in high quality shotguns, rifles and safari stuff back in the day. I think they also carried
some handguns.
Refinished & mutilated by the installation of commercial sights, I would expect it to sell for around $200.
Most of the Feguvar repo H-P's pistols. Supposedly were made for sale to either Iran or Iraq. During the war they were fighting in the Persian Gulf, during the 80's.
It wouldn't surprise me a bit. If a bunch of these pistols were brought in as surplus. Supposedly from Israel, wink, wink. IMHO,this would have made them a lot more salable and desirable. Than if they were sold, as either Iraq or Iran surplus HP's.
