Chinese Browning 1900?

I have a Browning 1900 here and i saw something that looked like it was written in Chinese... Anyone know anything about this?

 

Bump!

 

not chinese. it's the 7.65 browning 1900 semi-automatic pistol. quite scarce too, produced in belgium by fn herstal, it's a 7 shot mag, the rear sight incorporates a loaded indicator. often called the browning number 1 ..hope this helps, ray..

 

Well, i kinda knew that already, but i was hoping somebody could help me find out more about the markings.

 

here you go colletor.. Modern Firearms - FN / Browning M.1900 (Browning No.1) pistol

I can't actually figure out about the markings, but apparently my Browning 1900 was made in 1943?

 

1943, I thought the run ended earlier? found this one for sale and it does say production finished in 1912..
