Best Answer

If you check the bills in your wallet you'll see that nearly all of them have different letters at the start and end of their serial number. The first letter on a $1 bill indicates the Federal Reserve District for which the bill was printed - it should match the letter in the center of the Federal Reserve seal. The other letter is just sequential, to provide 26 times more possible serial numbers than could be created with only 8 digits.

What year was Browning 12 gauge shotgun serial number 5614 manufactured?

Which model are you asking about? Serial numbers can be the same for different models. If this is an Auto-5 Shotgun, then the year would be 1903, however it is recommended to re-verify the serial number. Is there a letter and/or a number and letter above the four digits of "5614", or a letter preceding the number? If so, then your serial number is not complete without them and this gun would be identified with a different date.
