With the serial number that you have suppled,your Browning Sweet Sixteen was made in Belgium for Browning between 1957-1958.The A prefix was mixed for Sweet Sixteen numbers during this time with the highest number being 10,900.
Made before WW 2. Unfortunately, they were made in Belgium, production records lost during the war. As Browning says- from that time period, age is a guess. Sorry.
The 20 gauge was not made in Belgium until 1958. It was made during the 1940's in what is called the Browning American Auto-5. 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. Remington made for Browning over 11,000 20ga guns between 1940 and 1948.
During the World War II years,when Remington took over production for Browning because the Belgium plant had been over run by the Nazi Germany armed forces.
You have an "American Browning" made from 1940-1949. These guns were made by Remington under contract to Browning during the German Occupation of Belgium when Browning could not import their Belgium guns. They do not say Remington anywhere on the gun, but essentially were made like the Remington Model 11, with the addition of the magazine cutoff. Browning specified that the serial numbers start at 5000 for each guage preceded by a letter to denote guage. A= 16ga / B=12ga / C= 20ga. Your gun 12ga "B12223" was made in 1941. The value of these American A5's is less than their Belgian cousins. Value depends on condition. Typically you need 98% or better original finish to get the gun in the $600 - $900 range; This is for new or near new condition. Most Americans sell between $300 and $450. Poly chokes and pads will keep the price lower no matter pecentage of finish.

It is possible. In addition to a serial number having been removed, the Browning plant in Belgium was taken over by the Nazis in WW II, and produced Browning pistols for the German military. While they were SUPPOSED to have serial numbers, things are not always done correctly during a war.
That shotgun was actually produced by Remington in the United States during World War II, when the FN plant in Belgium was occupied by the Nazis. Often called the 'American Browning.' Value ranges from $350-$500.
These shotguns were made from 1940-1945.During this time frame the belgium factory that produced Browning shotguns was overrun by the Nazi forces of Germany,and used to make firearms for the Third Reich.
