Hi-power Browning question

[RuMasco]

So I recently bought 3 hi powers one of them (I think) is a rare nickle plated gold trigger hi power. Is there a way I can confirm that it came factory nickel plated

You can contact Browning and have a Factory Letter drawn up. They will do a check on the serial # and how that serial # left the factory in what configuration and send you the results.....Letters cost about 100.00

You can also pose the question to the 1911 crowd over at this sub-forum:

Browning has a historian you can contact directly. Try to call and give him the serial number over the phone and he will usually respond verbally at moving charge with a description of how your pistol left the factory.

Is it a shiny silver color or dull? Adjustable sights?

I have a silver-chrome Hi-Power with gold trigger that I bought new in 1993. It has a dull silver finish, gold trigger, and adjustable sights. Other than that it is a standard Hi-Power with the chrome done at the Browning factory.

Does it look like this? (Except from the factory it will have black rubber Pachmayr grips.)

This is an older factory nickel gun.
