The FM High Power that I have is stamped: CAI ST. ALB. VT. which I understand is for Century Arms International, St. Albans Vermont. Does anyone know when this importer folded? Trying to get an idea of how old the gun is although it was NOS in box when I bought it. Think it might be a model 90 or earlier. Thanks,

Thanks muzzleblast but Century Arms International is a different company and located in Florida, not Vermont. Am sure that CAI folded sometime back.

I think they are the same company. If you check the contact info at the website, all of the phone numbers with 802 area codes are in Vermont.
Also the FAQ mentions the Vermont location.
Why not contact them and find out?

Thanks, will give it a shot!

CAI changed their name sometime back to CIA. Appears their arms come in through Florida but their offices are in St. Albans, Vt. Found the info I needed on Cruffler.Com's review of Argentine High Powers. My gun is a 1973 series clone. The Model 90 and later 95's were slightly redesigned. They are now imported by JLD Enterprises of Farming, Conn. along with the Detective.

The newer FMs are based on the newer FNs. They aren't clones, but rather HPs made under license. The new ones are really nice.
