It was based on a design by American firearms inventor John Browning, and completed by Dieudonné Saive at FN Herstal. Browning died in 1926, several years before the design was finalized.

The name change was kept even after production returned to Belgium. The pistol is often referred to as an HP or BHP, and the terms P-35 an ...
