To begin with, this is not a Sweet 16. A Sweet 16 is a lightweight 16ga made in Belgium and later in Japan. Not all Auto 5 sixteens were lightweight. Many were the standard weight model. What you have is called an American Browning. These guns were manufactured 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 16ga gun sn: A9479 was made and shipped to Browning in 1941. 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. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
