John Browning was not an employee of FN. He was associated with FN, as they produced his designs, and was paid for them.
FN had no relation to Browning Arms. John Browning owned Browning Arms long before his association with FN, Remington, or Colt.
Browning had FN make the Browning guns under contract.
The FN version of the high was known as the GP 35. It was not marked as a "Browning", though it may have had "Browning's patent" markings. The Browning HP was made by FN and marketed in the US by Browning Arms of Morgan, Utah.
