What is the age and value of 20 gauge Browning shotgun SN C13041 special steel 20 gauge shell 2 34 inch?

Answer 1

This is what is called an American Browning. 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. Your gun sn: C13041 was made and shipped to Browning in 1947. 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. A rough ball park figure would be $200-$450 range for this gun. Near mint guns and original box will command an extra premium. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
