Guys are there someone could shed a light on my FEG PJK 9? It has this hand engraved KASSNAR LONDON on the Right part of the slide.Newbie on this Forum Welcome. Fellow member PJK9HP has a Kassnar London marked FEG. Here is the link to his thread of a few years ago on the pistol. He has some good images of his Kassnar London FEG. highpowercollectors.proboards.com/post/2327/threadPJK9HP stated Explanation about the "Kassnar London" roll mark on the right side of the slide. When I bought the pistol early 1993 (no manual was included in the styropor package), I noticed that my pistol markings are different from those FEG write-ups in gun magazines I have (e.g. the letters FEG inside a polygon on the left side of the slide and the "HARRISBURG PA" on the right side) . So I wrote a letter directly to FEG Budapest requesting to send me the pistol operating manual and an explanation who "Kassnar London" is. A month later I received a letter from Mr. Paul M. Kassnar himself and it contained this explanation (and I quote):
"...I refer to your letter addressed to FEG Budapest concerning their 9mm pistol that you recently purchased.
To answer your questions, these pistols are the same. The difference in the markings occur as the manufacturer has different agents for sales to different countries. Each agent has his own identification system so that he controls the distribution in his market place.
You are correct, KBI is the agent for U.S.A. and Kassnar International Ltd., London is the agent for various other countries around the world.
As per your request we are sending you an instruction and safety manual for this pistol as well as a catalogue sheet. These pistols are distributed in the Philippines by:
ARMS CORPORATION OF THE PHILIPPINES.......
Cordially yours,(sgd)Paul M. KassnarDirector"(unquote)If you give us the serial number or post some images we might be able to get a date of manufacture for you. |
