The earlier the better. 1 is in the Browning Museum.
Define "better". Both companies make excellent guns.
If you are talking about a Browning Hi Power, German designation P-35 with original grips, stamps and magazine in the condition NRA 90% or better and the slide stamped Fabrique National D'armes D'guerre Herstel Belgium (spelling may be wrong), $800.00 to $2500.00.
Depends on condition and what grade. Could be a few hundred or multiple thousands. No way to tell without a better description.
The steel is stronger, but that doesnt nescesarilly mean its better
It was made in 1960 in Herstal Belgium. Herstal is a suburb of the city of Liege in Eastern Belgium. The company that made all Belgium Brownings is Fabrique Nationale or better known as FN.
My car is in good condition. Excellent condition is better than good condition. You can go to the party on one condition: you need to do your chores first.
We need make, model and condition. You gave us the make (you also spelled Belgium wrong) You would get a better answer by taking your rifle to a local gun shop or gun show for a hands on appraisal.
Revlon is excellent because it leaves your hair in better condition
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.
