Where did a browning 16gauge acier come from?
The term "acier special" is found on many Auto-5 shotguns. It is French for "special steel". The stamp "acier special" found on barrels are for Fabrique Nationale guns, and NOT Browning Arms Co. guns. Fabrique Nationale (FN) was the manufacturer of all Belgian Browning guns. Browning was simply an importer and bought guns with their name on them to sell in the United States. FN was licensed to make and sell some of these models World Wide outside the US. If it says "acier" on the barrel then, you probably have an FN gun. It's possible to have one of these barrels fitted on a genuine Browning gun, but then the receiver would identify the mix & match. FN Auto 5's as a custom, used the term Browning patent on many of their guns along with acier special. These guns never were sold in the US, but somehow made it to the states from overseas. Many guns were brought by returning US servicemen from WWII and so on.

How old is belgium fn27071 browning 16 gauge shotgun?
If this is the complete serial number on the gun, it was made in 1923. Often serial numbers are misread. Check to see if it has a letter above or preceding the 27071. If it does, please restate and ask the question again. If 27071 is the complete serial number, it was made in 1923. Now the question: Is it a Browning Arms Co Gun, or an FN gun? If an FN gun, it will say "acier special" on the Barrrel. Acier special means Special steel, and barrels marked this way are only on FN sales guns, not Browning. If the barrel is acier special, then FN produced the gun for sale outside the US and was not imported to be sold by the Browning Co. If this is one of the first Browning Arms Co guns, it should say "Browning Arms Co Ogden Utah on the barrel. This gun would be one of the shotguns that was first sold to the Browning Arms Co in 1923. Importation was very limited to Browning from FN until serial 22538 16ga was shipped to Browning in July of 1923. The highest serial number shipped in 1923 was 28400. If this is what you have, then this shotgun certainly has a place in history as one of the first Browning 16ga Auto 5's that came to America.
