Ellen Browning Scripps died in 1932.
It is a pre-WW2 gun, which were introduced (in 16ga) in 1936 until production was shifted to the US in 1939. Should have the safety in the front of the trigger guard, and the barrel should have a serial number matching the receiver.These guns will most commonly have the short 2 9/16" chamber in 16ga. A lot have subsequently been modified to accept 2 3/4" shells. You should have that checked before trying to shoot it.Condition is everything on an A5. Figure a low of $250 for a 2 9/16" chamber gun in relatively poor condition, to $600 or more for a very nice gun. The prewar guns with plain barrel and field grade do not generate as much market value as the post-war FN guns.Your gun left the factory in 1932. It is a Standardweight 16ga A5 and had short (2 9/16") chambers when it was made. The Grade I of that day had no engraving while the Grade II had similar line engraving as the later Grade I guns. Your gun was offered with both straight and semi-pistolgrip (round knob or Prince of Whales) stocks.AnswerThis gun was made in 1928. There is one problem though, The Barrel address should say BROWNING ARMS Co OGDEN UTAH. There never was a 16ga barrel marked Browning AUTOMATIC FIREARMS.
