This gun was made in 1970
The Browning Superposed Broadway shotgun is a variant of the popular Browning Superposed Over & Under double barrel shotguns produced in the late 1950s and 1960s (possibly as late as 1975). These shotguns were primarily intended for trapshooting and the "Broadway" term refers to the wide sighting rib (5/8" wide) running the full length along the top of the upper barrel. Standard Superposed shotguns typically had a rib 3/8" wide. The Broadway superposed shotguns were 12 guage (12 bore) with 2 3/4" chambers (3" magnum loads will not work in these guns and it is dangerous to try). Typically they Broadway trap guns had 30" or 32" barrels although it is possible that some custom lengths could exist. The original barrels had fixed chokes, usually modified, improved modified, and full in a variety of combinations with the most common usually being modified on the lower barrel and full choke on the upper. The Superposed Broadway shotguns were all made in Belgium and are exceptionally fine firearms. Many are still in use today by competition shooters despite being more than 40 years old. Some have had hundreds of thousands of rounds fired from them. Browning produced Broadway Superposed shotguns in a variety of finishes including the Midas Grade which included heavy engraving and gold inlay.
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.

I don't have personal possessions, including a Browning Micro Midas 2 bow, so I can't provide an age for it. However, the Browning Micro Midas 2 was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s, so if you have one, it is likely several years old. For an exact age, you would need to check the serial number or consult the manufacturer.
There are many determining factors that will account for the value of your browning superposed shotgun.These fine pre world war II shotguns had a lot of options available to them.If we are looking at the basic model superposed shotgun then the value of thse fine guns run between 1,000 dollars for a gun with 60% original finish on the wood and metal,up to 2,200 dollars for a fine example with 95% original finish remaining.The extra barrel set would bring 35-50% extra to the above stated values if they were in the same gauge.I do not know the value because they are in 20ga.and how that would effect the price.There was also the pigeon grade which is valued at 1,900-6,750 dollars for the same above stated range in finish(60%-95%)If you have a diana grade then the value would be 2,750-6,750 dollars.If you have the midas grade then the values would be 3,000-8,500 dollars.You may want to identify your superposed by going to the browning web site and looking at the customer service section for help in identifying your make and grade of superposed.The serial number would be the most important factor in identification.good luck
Depends on what grade the rifle is. Grade I, II or III? Grade I = Standard Grade, Grade II has engraved prarie dogs and squirrels, Grade III has dogs flushing some ducks and a dog with a duck in its mouth on the top of the receiver. You can tell what year the rifle is by the serial number.
Different levels of engraving, wood, etc..

These usually go for 100 to 150. They can go over 200 depending on accessories they have. They are great bows.
