For many years after 1900, and even after WWI, the FN Browning 1900 was considered the world's best semi-auto. For one thing, it worked, when many more expensive pistols did not. It is a very clever design, and a very reliable pistol. It looks odd to us, but that was no barrier to sales in those days, and they were highly coveted. Naturally, it was copied, with more or less skill, throughout the world, by folks whose ideas of patent rights were, so say the least, rudimentary.
