What is the year and value of Belgium Browning Twenty 20 gauge A5 with factory vent rib round grip gold trigger original blue and light wood serial 3Z 64304 in excellent condition?

Answer 1

Made in 1963 by FN. That would sell in excess of $1000 and possibly as much as $1300-$1500 if you find motivated buyers. sales@countrygunsmith.net That's not a '7', it should be a 'Z' as in 3Z over 64304. This should be the serial number appearing on the bottom of the gun in front of the loading port. If so, it is a Browning Auto-5 'Light Twenty' made in 1963. All depends on originality and condition. I've seen A5's described as 'excellent' that were actually reblued with edges rounded, engraving polished off, etc. The fact that you were able to misread the serial number makes me wonder about the finish. By 'rib' I am assuming you mean a factory ventilated rib and not a solid rib or an aftermarket rib. If you have an original, unmessed with Browning A5 Light Twenty in truly excellent (98% or better) condition it would sell for $1200 or more. If the gun has been reblued, it would bring about half that. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Answer 2

I can say that your browning auto-5 was made in 1939,as to value I would say that if you have a standard model with the vent rib barrel and the finish is around 90% it would be worth between 575-675 dollars.
