What is the value of a Belgium made 12 gauge Browning semi-automatic Light Twelve with serial 7GS360?

Well, other than being made in 1963 you dont tell us very much about the gun. Trap, Skeet, Broadway Trap? How long are the barrels? What grade? How are they choked? MOST importantly, what condition is the gun in? As an example, a 12ga Broadway Trap with 30" barrels choked F/IM, in about 80% condition, would sell for around $900. A Field Grade Superposed Lightning 12ga with 26" barrels choked IC/M, in mint condition, would sell for around $1500. A Diana Grade Lightning in mint condition might reach $5000 or more depending on other factors....

How does Belgium elect its leaders?

Well, here's what I understand about the Belgian government;

Belgium always ended up being the victims of imperialism, and so was always at war. Then they decided that they wanted independence, so Belgium was born. However, b/c of the wars, there were different cultures within one country (French, Dutch, & German.) So to cater to them, 3 new separate governments were formed which each control 1 of the 3 regions in Belgium & have just as much power as the central Belgian government. They are Flanders (Dutch), Brussels (French & Dutch), and Wallonia (French.) The German speaking people are a minority, so they don't get a region, and that's where 3 other governments come in. These are called the "commmunities" which are French, Dutch, & German. Their governments can only assist the people who are of that identity, and whose region identifies as well. Ex. The French community in Wallonia can't help the 300,000 French people in Flanders b/c that's a Dutch region. (I have to answer in 2 answers, see discussion)
