I did a quick search on Guns America and $1,000 will get you a 97% used Belgium Browning.
The fit and finish on the commercial Belgian ones is exceptional. The early Portigee ones says "ASSEMBLED in Portugal" meaning mfg in Belgium and put together where it was cheaper labour in Portugal. So for a few bucks less you get something of equal quality as the all Belgian made ones.

The T serial numbered ones with the round hammer made in the 1960's go for a few bucks more than the 70's versions. Mostly though the 70's to early 80's HP's is where to fall. Beautifully made weapons. Sub $1000 price range...mostly around 700 at auction plus buyers commission, shipping and receiving.

Took my HP out and did not like the trigger pull. compared to the 911 it is a no brainer.

BTW the 70's HP come in a black vinyl gun rug wt red interior. .
