This is what is called an American Browning. These guns were produced by Remington in the US (New York) for Browning after Belgium was overun by the Germans in WWII. The guns were made using Remingtons model 11 equipment. A few modifications were made to incorporate more of the Browning features and were all stamped Browning Arms Co. St. Louis mo. Your gun sn: B40818 was made and shipped to Browning in 1948. These guns are not as valuable as their Belgium counterparts. 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. Condition vs age is also a factor. Auto 5's with recoil pads (other than Mag 12's) poly-chokes and compensators will reduce value. In typical used condition expect $250-$600 range for this gun. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
It depends on the browning model of shotgun you are asking about,and the condition it is in.
