Manufactured prior to 1967, this auto-5 features a single brass bead sight on the vent rib barrel, 2 3/4 inch chamber, with screw-in choke system. The left rear of the barrel is marked "FABRIQUE NATIONALE DARMES DE GUERRE HERSTAL - BELGIQUE / * ACIER SPECIAL - C 16 - CART. 2 3/4" - 63.5 mm". The barrel is blue and the remaining parts are a polished coin. The receiver is very nicely engraved with floral vine patterns with a wooded scene of two pheasants on the left side and a wooded scene with three grouse on the right side. The front of the receiver on the bottom is marked "ENGR. S.B. WILLIAMS" over "FN / 25463B". The receiver screws are blue with floral engraved head, gold washed trigger and mounted with a high gloss fancy checkered walnut forearm and round knob pistol grip stock with a black plastic "AUTOMATIC / FN / BROWNING" buttplate. Length of pull is 14 1/4 inches. The extra 16 gauge barrel is 29 inches in length. Has a single brass bead sight on the matte vent rib, with 2 3/4 inch chamber, screw-in choke system and marked the same as the barrel on the shotgun, and numbered "L89579". Complete in a brown leather covered Browning takedown case and 5 total Briley chokes, and choke wrench.

Rating Definition:

Near new with only the slightest handling/storage marks. The extra barrel is excellent with 99% plus original blue finish, with a few light dings and handling marks. The case is very good plus with some minor scuffs on the exterior and a few minor stains on the lining.
