This is an Fabrique Nationale (FN) gun made in 1922. It was not imported and sold as a Browning gun, but sold by FN outside the US. Two barrel sets are not common on these old guns, especially if they are both serialized to the gun. Recommend checking to make sure it is not a GradeII or higher grade. okg 979 is the weight of the barrel at time of proofing. The forearm serial number should match the gun, but the number on yours is not enough difference to say that it's a replacement. Every once in a while FN put out a gun with a forearm that was a close number but didn't match.

Old browning 16 ga with the word acier special on it can you tell me anything about it?

Acier special means Special steel, and barrels marked this way are only on FN sales guns, not Browning. FN produced the guns for sale outside the US and were not imported to be sold by the Browning Co. The FN version is mechanically the same as the Browning version, but markings and finish may be different.

What is a Browning special steel shotgun?

This goes back to the beginning of the auto 5 production in 1903. John Cockerill was a British Industrialist whose company supplied high quality steel to Fabrique Nationale (FN) which was the maker of the A-5. The Cockerill name was first used on Browning barrels stamped "cockerill steel". The steel was a very strong quality that met the proofing requirements of guns that were shooting smokeless powder. Eventually the Cockerill name was dropped from the barrels and "special steel" was used instead. The FN guns that were not sold to Browning in the US, uses the barrel stamp of "acier special" which means special steel in the French language.
