I was in the service in Israel in the late 80's.
some of the FN's where introduced in the early 70's. that is a fact.
yellow tape was used for identifacation in some units. those guns where shot a lot less. the FN's are great guns, some of the guys didnt want to change to the Glock 19c but when there is no choice you do as told. there was a big improvement in hit percentage with the new guns though. I bought one of the "retired" FN's for $50 in Israel 2 years ago, it is in mint cond.
good luck with yours.
