your browning was one of the last to be made in Belguim as evidenced by the serial number prefix 76v.
Up to 1975. A few were still made in Belgium in 1976 when A5 production shifted to Japan.
They were first made and imported into the U.S. by Browning in the year 1903.The last year for Belgium made shotguns was 1975.
100-1000 USD or more depending on specifics.
The Last Safari was created in 1967-11.
The duration of The Last Safari is 1.83 hours.
Production of the A5 in Japan began in 1976, but some Belgium FN guns were produced for Browning up through 1978. A special run of Belgian Mag 12's were made for the Browning Collectors Association in 1984. Keep in mind that FN in Belgium continued after the 70's to produce the gun for world wide sales outside of the US. These are considered "FN Auto-5's" and are not Browning Co. guns. auto5man
That is not a Browning serial number. The 1958-1968 Browning dating system was of the format: <last digit of year of manufacture><letter indicating grade><serial number> An example would be 8L12345. 8 = year (duplicated between 1958 and 1968) L = Safari grade 12345 = serial number John
