The Browning Sweet 16 is a 16 gauge shotgun manufactured in Belgium. It uses a true 16 gauge barrel and as such is a wonderful shotgun. To a hunter this is a sweet weapon.
the 5S prefix to your browning sweet sixteen shotgun puts the production of your shotgun in 1965.
Your browning 16ga auto-5 shotgun was made in 1934 with the serial number that you provided.However the browning sweet-sixteen auto-5 shotgun was not offered until 1937.These sweet-sixteen shotguns were made from 1937-1975.Does your browning shotgun say sweet-sixteen on the shotgun?If so please check your serial number again.
They made identical shotguns in other gauges, but if it is not a 16 gauge, it is an Auto-5, not a Sweet Sixteen.
You will need a professional appraisal.
The prefix of 2R was assigned to the Browning standard model 16 gauge auto-5 shotgun which was made in the year 1962.If you had a sweet sixteen model auto-5 shotgun,then the prefix to your serial number would have been 2S.Therefore you do not have a sweet-sixteen model Browning shotgun.
