Yeah FN used to make bikes didn't know it was a gun Company though.It's a Saroléa alright Nichthupen and the one in the picture is the 500cc Monotube(called this way because of the single exhaust tube on the transmission side).It was more or less an over the counter racer witch featured a Bosch racing ignition,Amal Racing carb lightweight valvesprings and a close ratio 4 speed transmission.These bikes where able to do speeds up to 175 km/h running on alcohol(and all of this in the late 30's).The bike in the picture was photographed at the 1936 GP at Floreffe.So now it's your turn Nichthupen.
