Impossible to answer without the serial number.
Yes, and there are many single action semi auto pistols out there. The M1911, for instance, and earlier examples of the Browning P35 Hi Power.
See the Browning website- customer service. Date of prodcution by serial number listing.
Baby Browning.
A Browning Hi Power
Browning has made the P35 in 40 S&W
They refer to this handgun as the browning model BDA (browning double action auto) pistol.
No such model made by Browning.
PROBABLY the P35, or "Hi-Power", from the early 1950's. It was first imported under the Browning name in 1954, so if it has the Browning markings you can pin it to that year. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Exactly how is the pistol marked? 9mm browning serial number 72C44338
