You will have to call Browning to find out.The serial number prefix of 6V indicates that you have a Browning auto-5 shotgun that was made in 1966,and the letter V indicates that you have a Magnum model auto-5 shotgun.
I would need to know belguim browning what?Is it a rifle,shotgun,pistol?Also what model of browning are we talking about.Please include this info to get a correct answer to your question.
You will need to check 1956 gun catalogs with Browning in them.
No, not neccesarily. Some American made auto 5 shotguns say on the barrel: "Browning Arms Co. St. Louis Mo." Nowhere will it say made in Belgium if this is the case. If the barrel is correct to the receiver and the barrel says made in Belgium, then it is.
These were chambered for the 32ACP round which fired a 71gr.Full metal jacket bullet(FMJ).If in doubt have a qualified gunsmith look over your pistol and he can determine the correct cartridge for your hand gun.
Serial number X29547 is correct for a 16ga Auto-5 made in 1949. The FN indicates manufacture by Fabrique Nationale in Belgium and is not a part of the serial number. Just because it is 16 gauge does NOT make it a 'Sweet Sixteen.' That was a very specific variation of the Auto-5 with certain modifications to reduce weight by some 10 ounces less than the standard weight Auto-5. It should have "Sweet Sixteen" engraved on the left side of the receiver. Value depends on condition, which of course you dont tell us. So figure a value range of $300-$1000 for a plain barrel gun, add up to another 50% if the gun has a ventilated rib barrel that is original to the gun. sales@countrygunsmith.net
A letter from Browning will remove all doubt. Could be 57 or 67

In order to answer your question please include the type of firearm you are asking about(rifle,shotgun,handgun etc.) also include the model name or number,barrel length,action type,caliber or gauge,along with the serial number that you have provided to get a correct answer to your question.
OK, let's properly identify this pistol. It is a CZ-27, made in Czechoslovakia under German occupation during World War II. The 'fnh' you undoubtedly are seeing on the slide is NOT 'Fabrique Nationale Herstal' but rather the German code for the Czech factory where that pistol was made. It is not a FN Model 1922, nor a Browning. Condition is absolutely everything on these pistols, and any special unit markings or rare variations can double or even triple the value to a collector. Please provide more information, and digital pictures if possible, to sales@countrygunsmith.net and we will do our best to help you out with an appraisal or possibly even purchase the pistol. www.countrygunsmith.net *Now I know what happened to the AntiqueGuns.com crystal ball! How did you get from a Browning Model 22 to a CZ-27? *Pretty easy. The 'Pistole Modell 27 Kaliber 7.65' was obviously copied directly from the left side of the slide and is the correct marking for a CZ27. At some point someone has misidentified this pistol as a Model 1922 Browning, undoubtedly because of the 'fnh' markings that a wartime CZ27 would show. Neither the FN Model 1922 or the commercially marked Browning version have the markings 'Model 22' so that makes the correct identification easy.
Which guage and model, and also is the number just 83788 or ??? The 98 at the end is not correct. Please re-check and ask again. Thank you
