The pre-war sweet sixteens in the grade,s III and IV are more rare.I will say that any made with the vent-rib barrels also bring more value to these shotguns,either produced before or after the war.

There were no Sweet 16s made in 1928, not until 1937. You have a standard weight 16 ga. What is your question? Try the link below. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_value_of_a_Browning_Sweet_Sixteen

What is the value of a 1936 Belgium browning sweet 16?

Only a handfull of sweet 16s were made in 1936. They were not available until 1937 to dealers by order only. Sure you have a 1936 gun? If so, it is likely a standard weight 16ga, and not a sweet 16. value depends on condition and correct identification of this gun.

What is the value of a Browning Sweet Sixteen shotgun serial 80007?

For starters the serial number is in question. There was an Auto 5 16 ga with that serial number made in 1929, but it was not a "Sweet" 16. Sweet 16s are lightweight guns of the 16 ga model. If it is a Sweet, then part of the serial number or code is missing such as a letter. Please refer to the following link for values: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_value_of_a_Browning_Sweet_Sixteen

Are all sweet sixteen guns marked sweet sixteen?

99% of the sweet 16s will say as much on the left side of the receiver. There was a 3 year period from 1937 until the German occupation of Belgium in 1940 that they were produced and most of these do not specifically say Sweet 16 on the left hand side. On these few and far between pre-war guns, you will find most noteably, a gold plated trigger. All of these 'pre-war' 16s were chambered only for 2 9/16" shells. After the war ended and production and import resumed in 1947, all the Sweets I have ever seen have had it plainly marked. The other sure fire way is to inspect the serial number and product ID code. Browning started identifying sweet 16s in 1953 with an S prefix before the serial number. So, as an example S123456 and so on. The standard 16s had an R prefix, R123456 and so on. They switched up for a year in 1957 and the sweet went to an A prefix and the standard went to a T prefix. In 1958, they went back to the S and R system, but put the last didgit of the year of manufacture BEFORE the prefix. This went on until 1967 went they realized they needed TWO didgits before the prefix letter. So the serial number a sweet made in 1963 would look something like 3S123456. The standard weight 16 was discontinued in 1964. So if you have a 16 made after that... it is a sweet and a sweet only.


What is the year and value of a browning sweet sixteen serial number 17443 and has 8S above the serial number Gun is in like new condition?

I know this sounds confusing, but there are possibly two Sweet 16s with the same number. If the gun has a round knob pistol grip on the stock, it was made in 1958. If the grip is a flat knob, it was made in 1968. Please see the link below for determining value. Thank you http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_value_of_a_Browning_Sweet_Sixteen

What is age of Browning Sweet Sixteen serial X94392?

The "X" is throwing me off a little bit, but if the only numbers present are 94392 I would have to guess sometime between 1923 and 1940 b/c the sweet 16s were #ed 1-126,175 within this range. Value depends completely on Grade (there were 4 different grade models 1-4, each got a little more detailed as they progressed with more checkering and inlays), if it had a solid or vent rib, and obviously condition. The value ranges from a Grade 1, no rib, 60% at $250, to a Grade 4 vent rib 100% @ $4,900. Hope this was helpful!
