The clitoris is a female sexual organ located at the top of the vulva, above the urethra. It is important for sexual pleasure, as it is highly sensitive and can become engorged with blood when stimulated.
Browning has information on their web site.
Browning's web site has a sn search function.
All Citoris were/are made in Japan, and that is not the full serial number. There are three more numbers and two letters. Value depends mainly on the features and condition. Early Citoris with fixed chokes are not as desireable as later Citoris with choke tubes. Field and Trap guns are not as desireable as Lightning and Superlight models. Based on the information you provided, anywhere between $550 and $1000.
Condition is everything. NIB they can go for around 2K. Recommend you compare like Citoris on other gun sale websites like gunbroker or gunsamerica.com
Yes,you should be able to have a qualified gunsmith do the work for you.I would check out the area in which you live and find a qualified gunsmith perform the work for you.
Introduced in 1973, the Citori was the first Japanese made Browning. Fixed chokes were the only option until the Invector choke became available in 1983. The fixed chokes and Invectors were both available on the Citori for a few years until in 1989 when the Invector became standard on all guages except the 28ga and .410.
Over / Under shotguns are very collectable when in top condition. Values have a wide range due to so many variations and grades of the Superposed, Citoris and other Browning Over/Unders. 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. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal
It all depends on condition. Used Citoris do not go up in value as one may think. It would depend on if this gun has the invector chokes and other factors. As with any firearm, it is not possible to accurately appraise a gun without seeing it. Condition, and original configuration will determine value. Other factors such as rarity of caliber or guage and higher grades have significant impact on value. Recommend that you see a local gun dealer for an appraisal. You can also do your own investigation by looking at other models being sold that are in the same condition as yours. Try the gunbroker.com or a periodical called "The Gun List" You can also reference the Blue Book of Gun Values which can be purchased on line at various retailers.
I recently purchased a used 12 ga Charles Daly Superior Skeet shotgun from Gander Mountain. It is in very good (90%) condition. I paid $600 US for it and I consider this to be a fair price for this particular gun. As a national chain sporting goods store, Gander Mountain uses fair market value to retail all of it's gun offerings, both new and used. This particular shotgun would have sold for about $300 new in 1965 when Charles Daly started to import these Japanese guns which closely mimic the Browning Citori (also made by BC Miroku). Citoris were also much less expensive (although considerably more expensive than the look-a-like Daly)in the 1960's and have also gained in value on the used gun market as has the Daly.
Citori shotguns have become the "bread and butter" in Brownings lineup. Originally, the Citori Over/Under was an economical choice over the high quality Superposed Models. Since it's introduction in 1973, the Citoris have been made in over a hundred variations. Citori's are now very collectable when in top condition. Values have a wide range due to so many variations and grades of the Citori and other Browning Over/Unders. Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun.
