If you are new to Hi/High Powers, for historical information I would recommend you purchase Anthony Vanderlinden's FN Browning Pistol Book and Blake Stevens The Browning High Power Automatic Pistol. Vanderlinden's book has a great section on High Power holsters, but in a quick check I did not see one similar to yours. This indicates a third quarter 1955 production date. From the image it appears the the box is open on the bottom. And, to narrow it down further on the trigger guard is a 5 with a box around it. On the slide and frame is a Controllers of the Proof mark, an R on its back with an asterisk This is Sylvan Wagemans mark, who worked 1951-1965. I am not an expert on FN marked High Powers, but two things that I see fit the 1955 date. GunsRC on GB sells some great collector weapons. Welcome to the forum, and great purchase.
