No, they did not
Browning does not make firearms, FN does.
Yes
The Ward guns were only built on the Browning Patent. Other than that Browning Arms Co. had nothing to do with them
What Springfield Company are you referring too? Browning didn't have a Company in Springfield, but they did have their operations in St Louis Missouri. The Headquarters for the Browning Companies was in Ogden for many years, known as Browning Bros. and also the JM & MS Browning Co. In 1927 they created the Browning Arms Company in the United States to sell under that name the gun imports from Belgium. In 1931 Browning moved their Sales and distribution operations from Ogden to St. Louis Missouri and it remained there until 1964 when they moved to Morgan Utah. Browning guns are all from the same Company that imported, made and sold guns known as Browning's. Most all the Browning guns were made in Belgium and Japan, however some people have had confusion over the guns made in the USA, St. Louis Mo. These guns are the auto-5's that Remington made for Browning during WWII. They were actually made in New York by Remington, not in St Louis.
Colt's Patent Arms Manufacturing Co., founded by inventor Samuel Colt in 1847, provided the Union Army with more than 107,000 revolvers during the Civil War.
Acier special means Special steel, and barrels marked this way are only on FN sales guns, not Browning Arms Co. FN produced the guns for sale outside the US and were not imported to be sold by the Browning Co. Providing this is the complete serial number without a letter above or preceding the number, then this gun was made in 1907. It is an FN Auto-5, not a Browning Arms Company A5. The FN version is mechanically the same as the Browning version, but markings and finish may be different.
This is an American Browning auto 5. Made by Remington during WWII. These guns are not as valuable as their Belgium cousins. Depending on condition they usually fall between $300 and $650.
The very first A5s were made in Belgium in 1903. Several thousand were made for import to Browning and were marked "Browning Automatic Arms CO." After the first several Thousand, were shipped to Browning in the US, Fabrique Nationale (FN) made the gun for worldwide sales outside the United States. No more guns came into the US for 20 years. In 1923, Browning became "Browning Arms Co." and started importing guns from Belgium.
Most likely a store brand.
You need to describe the stamp, and to which gun model are you referring to? The first Browning designed gun made by FN was a pistol in 1899. Even though the Browning Arms Co. was not in existence at that time, FN produced and sold the guns with the stamping "Brownings Patent" on all guns they made. auto5man
Ruger, Colt, Smith and Wesson, STI, Sako, Weatherby, Winchester, FN, Browning, Miroku, Korth, H&K, are a few.
From the start all browning guns were made by FN of belguim for browning between 1903-1975.After that all guns were made by Miroku of japan.
