Price of 1948 belgian made 20 ga auto shotgun?

Answer 1

This cant be a Belgian made gun in 1948. FN did not produce the 20 ga until 1958. If it was made in 48, it would be the American A5. These guns were produced by Remington in the US (New York) for Browning after Belgium was overun by the Germans in WWII. The guns were made using Remingtons model 11 equipment. A few modifications were made to incorporate more of the Browning features and were all stamped Browning Arms Co. St. Louis mo. Whether a Belgian or American, value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Auto 5's with poly-chokes, compensators and recoil pads (other than Mag 12's) will reduce value. Near mint guns and original box will command an extra premium. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
