If this was all the number there was, then the gun was made in 1903 and the barrel says: "Browning Automatic Arms Co." If not, then the serial number has a letter or letter and number above the four digits which will identify it. Check and ask again if this is the case.
If you have a 12 gauge model auto-5 Browning shotgun?Then it was produced by FN of Belguim for Browning in 1923.If you have the same shotgun in 16 gauge,then it was produced in 1928.
Auto 5
I have no records of a Browning 16ga shotgun having a A prefix to the serial number.Please check and list the model number(or name model) of your shotgun in your next post.
The number X1850 indicates the serial number.This serial number shows that you have a browning auto-5 16 gauge shotgun that was made in the year 1947.
Seeing that you did not state what gauge your shotgun is in,the Browning auto-5 shotgun chambered in 12 gauge with the serial number 49322 was made in 1921,if you have a 16 gauge model auto-5 shotgun then it was made in the year 1926.
If your Browning auto-5 shotgun is a 12 gauge model then it was made by FN of Belguim for Browning in 1907.If you have a 16 gauge model,it was made in 1921.
Your serial number indicates that your Browning auto-5 16 gauge shotgun was made in the year 1948.
Impossible to do with just the sn in this case. You will have to call Browning.
