I have a set of skeet grade II engraved by Felix Funken. The historian for Browning said the value was much higher because of the signing and the year of prduction.
AnswerFELIX FUNKEN ENGRAVED ALL OF THOSE GRADES. IF HE DID A GUN, HE WOULD SIGN IT. THESE GUNS IN ALL GRADE MENTION WOULD GO FOR A HIGHER PRICE BECAUSE OF HIS NAME. BROWNING MADE GRADE III, IV, V & VI AND WERE ENGRAVED BY MANY DIFFERENT ENGRAVERS. FELIX FUNKEN WAS A MASTER ENGRAVER AND STARTED THE BROWNING ENGRAVING SCHOOL. FRANK
Fekix Funken engraved all grades except grade 1. He also made special order guns with custom engraving. It is possible some guns engraved by his students were signed by him, which was an accepted practice for a master engraver. And yes they are wortj more.

This set would be a high end collectors item. Depending on the Engraver and the quality of the engraving, its recommended to seek a professional appraisal. A Ball park figure is too tough to give without seeing the guns.
What makes a browning 325 grade 2 as apposed to grade 3 grade 4 ect.?
These grade numbers are cosmetic identification. You may be more familiar with some older designations such as: Superposed(plain), Pidgeon Grade, Diana Grade, Midas Grade(heavily engraved with gold inlay,exhibition grade wood), etc. The higher the grade the deeper the engraving, gold inlay(always24k),,higher grade(rarer) wood progressively as well for each grade. The guns are simply fancier, they do not shoot better,works of art actually. If you appreciate this kind of detail, have a knowledge of requirements to even be an engraver for Browning, they are considered artists in steel. These types of arms appreciate to a higher level as there are fewer of them and the engravers become famous themselves(guns are signed), as do our own Colt, etc., factory engraved pieces.
