Fabrique nationale darmes was one of the companies founded by Henri Pieper of Belgium but he made guns under many names as well as autos (not many) and bikes also. Fabrique nationale darmes along with the other names were one of the largest gun making outfits in the world
This gun was made in 1946-47. records are not available to determine exactly. This is a gun that FN made at the end of the war for sales outside the US, and not to Browning. FN was in the process of converting all 16 ga guns to 2.75", but yours is the receiver and barrel that was left over from prewar mfg which is for the 2 9/16" shells. 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. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
Serial number 67296 was made in 1924. Sounds like you have an FN (Fabrique Nationale) gun versus a Browning Arms Co gun. If your gun says "acier special" on the barrel you have an FN gun. If it says Ogden Utah, its a Browning gun. Both were made by FN. Pre-War Browning guns in original condition (no chokes or pads) are valued more than the FN guns. It's rare to find a 20's gun in better than 90-95% condition. Generally they sell from $350-$500 due to most having less than 85% finish. (FN guns were sold in markets outside the US and did not compete with Browning inside the US)

If it is really in NRA Fair condition, it's worth the value of any useable parts. If the gun is complete and functional, it will grade something better than fair. Since you do not indicate what model it is and FN (Fabrique Nationale) made several guns on Browning patents, about all I can say is that your gun was apparently intended for sale in continental Europe since it is marked only in French.
