Your serial number is missing a letter designation to be a Sweet 16. This number alone is for a Standard Grade 16ga made in 1930. 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. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_value_of_a_Browning_Sweet_Sixteen
