I believe that it was made in 1938. The value depends a lot on its condition. Generally a 16 GA is worth more than a 12 GA. If in very good condition it is probably worth $400 - $500. Check on www.gunbroker.com to see if any similar guns are listed.
If your Browning auto-5 shotgun is chambered in 12 gauge then it was made in the year 1928.If it is chambered in 16 gauge,then it was made in the year 1938.
Depending on condition and age, between $250.00 and $400.00. The older guns tend to be worth more, and condition will play a part. The 16 gauge was begun in 1938, and was discontinued in the 70's. There is a large "cult" like following for older Featherweights, especially in 16 and 20 gauges. Many consider them the finest pump shotguns ever built. Steve - Gun afficianado
