I’ll dig mine out tomorrow and post some pics. Mines pretty damn ugly but it shoots good.
Kareen Hi Power - One I wish I had kept!
I picked up this surplus Kareen HP a few years ago. In a moment of weakness I decided I no longer needed it and sold it off. Other than a pretty stiff trigger pull it was a beauty, only missing the original black Kareen grips. If you own a Kareen feel free to post pics of yours.

Here’s the Hi Powers I still own. Left 1961 Belgium, center my Kereen, and bottom 1992 MK3 Belgium.

The 1961 was made for the Buenos Aires police

The 1992 was made for the Israeli Massad Police Department. When I was attempting to research the marking on the pistol I came across a Facebook page of the police department women’s auxiliary selling these stocking caps. Literally cost me like $18 or $19 delivered to my house from Israel.

Finally the Kereen which apparently was assembled in Israel using primarily Hungarian parts and some Israeli parts. The bulldog muzzle cap is different from the Belgium pistols and shows the Hungarian roots.

I have a little collection of Israeli police and military pistols. From what I’ve been able to collect, the military & police in Israel used CZ70’s, CZ75’s, Belgium HP’s, and Jerichos. In order to satisfy the civilian needs and marksmanship programs they used CZ75 clones BUL’s, Tanfoglio’s, Jericho’s, and Desert Eagles.
The Kareen was an attempt to supply the civilian demand for HP’s and to build up domestic arms manufacturing.

Tolglass,
Nice HPs; it was my understanding as well that the major components of the Kareen were made in Hungary by FEG. Here's a pic of a Kareen that was worked over a bit. It was one of the early imports from Israel some years back. It was imported as pictured here other than the Browning grips.

.380 😝. Have never dabbled in that caliber and would only buy these 84’s is they had a Star of David or some Hebrew writing on them. Here’s a picture of a CZ70 that I got from Israel. Police and Military guys carried these as back ups and this guy ( Alon Tzika ) had his name put on the side in Hebrew. If I could get an 84 like this I’d buy it in a hart beat.Atlantic Firearms has Israeli Police marked Beretta 84 pistols for sale in stock. Look pretty nice…

I’m not sure if they are Israeli marked. I’ve seen 92s marked with police Star of David mem stamps, but not sure on the other Berettas.
Ironically, I exclusively collect Nazi police Walthers…
