FN Hi-Power Browning (SAS)

3D Model

Manufactured by Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FN) in Belgium, this Browning Hi-Power was first designed by John Browning in 1923. However, the weapon’s design was only finished by his apprentice in 1935 after Browning passed away in 1926.

This specific Hi-Power belonged to a member of the SAS who was part of the assaulters who stormed into the Iranian Embassy on Prince’s Gate in South Kensington London, during the 1980 Iraninan Embassy Siege. The Browning scanned here, with an extended 20-round magazine, was used in the siege! The full kit of Rusty Firmin, is on display in the museum along with his HK mp5, assault vest, and other assault equipment!
