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. Near mint guns and original box will command an extra premium, as well as the second barrel. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
1938, Belgium
NO! The 1187 barrel was for remington shotguns,the auto-5 shotgun is a browning shotgun.
Try e-gunparts.com, Mid West Gun Works, Browning.
Providing it is a Auto5 which wasnt noted, it would have been made in 1929
This gun was made in 1929. The barrel address should say: BROWNING ARMS Co OGDEN UTAH.
If your browning auto-5 is in excellent condition(85-90%)original finish?I would assign a value of 550-650 dollars.
No serial number provided
It shouldn't say light twelve on the barrel, but on the receiver. Light twelve means that the gun is a light weight version of the standard Auto5 shotgun.
You need the services of a gunsmith
