One of Fabrique Nationale's handguns, a Model 1910 semi-automatic pistol in 9×17mm (. In 1973, FN changed its name to reflect a product line diversified far beyond just "weapons of war", adopting the current name of Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal. Production of FN motorcycles continued until 1965, and production of trucks until 1970. Cars were produced in Herstal in the early 1900s until 1935. FN was an important manufacturer of motor vehicles in Belgium, a development championed by Alexandre Galopin as managing director. In 1897, the company entered into a long-lasting relationship with John Moses Browning, a well-known American firearms designer. FN was co-founded by the major arms makers of the Liège region, with Henri Pieper of Anciens Etablissements Pieper being the driving force and the primary shareholder of the new company. The Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (French for National Factory of Weapons of War) was established in 1889 to manufacture 150,000 Mauser Model 89 rifles ordered by the Belgian Government.

But suffice to say that possession of this particular model/year Mauser is very rarely mentioned on the web. And who knows if any of the references might be duplicate sightings? No way to tell, for sure.

Serial number information is not available in these mentions. The first mention is on what appears to be the defunct MilsurpArms forum, another on Calgun forums, and the last is on Gunboards. The other three references appear in forum posts, but without much detail, nor any pictures. Mine is clearly not in that serial number range, at 6375. With all that prefaced: Two examples of the 1938 stamped FN-30's are referenced as being observed in Mauser Military Rifles of the World, by Robert W.D.

My best google-fu has come up with only five other references, besides my own, to this particular year and make. D'ARMESdeGUERRE, HERSTAL BELGIQUE on the left side receiver. I did use the term 'rarest' in the thread title, as there are few examples and very little information to be gleaned on the internet from the Chinese contract FN-M1930 (FN-30) with standard length receiver, the large and ornate Fabrique National logo, date stamped from 1938, and with the two-line FAB.NAT.
