Overview & History
The Browning Arms Company traces to John Moses Browning, the most influential firearms designer in history. Its classics - the Auto-5 'Humpback' shotgun, the Superposed and Citori over-unders, and the Hi-Power pistol - were largely manufactured by FN in Belgium, and Belgian-made examples are especially prized. Value depends on where and when a gun was made, the grade and engraving, gauge, condition, and originality, with high-grade Superposed shotguns and early Hi-Powers bringing the most.
Identifying & Marks
Check the maker and proof markings (Belgian FN proofs add value), the serial and date code, gauge or caliber, and grade markings. Belgian manufacture, higher grades, and original condition strongly affect value.
