Business Intrigue Gone Wrong: High Powers for Oman
This video delves into the fascinating story behind Browning High Power pistols intended for Oman. Originally brokered by Paul Van Hee as part of a Cadillac-Gage armored car deal in the late 1960s, the plan involved importing and engraving High Powers with Omani national crests. However, the deal faltered, and FN arranged its own sale of 5,000 pistols to Oman without special markings. The demonstration guns, including one fitted with an original Belgian shoulder stock and exempted from NFA regulations, remained in the US and entered the collector market.
