Single bead sight on the solid, matte rib with Fabrique Nationale address on the right, "MADE IN BELGIUM" on the left, and no visible Browning markings on the barrels. With 2 3/4 inch chambers, automatic ejectors, full/improved modified chokes, and standard Belgian proofs. The receiver has standard B1 grade floral bouquet and scroll engraving with a single trigger and tang mounted safety/selector switch. Checkered forearm and straight grip stock with engraved fittings and hard rubber "BROWNING/SUPERPOSED" marked buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine as professionally refinished. 85% of the blue finish remains with some mild edge wear and some visible pitting along the rib and around the breech end of the barrels. The receiver has been polished bright with crisp engraving, areas of slight visible pitting and mild handling marks. The wood is also fine with crisp checkering, and small scattered dings throughout. Mechanically excellent. Case is very good with some scuffs on the exterior and mild interior staining.
