Then included factory letter confirms the serial number, barrel length, gauge, grade, and September 13, 1974 date of shipment to Cullum & Boren of Dallas, Texas. The chart on page 292 of "The Browning Superposed: John M. Browning's Last Legacy" by Ned Schwing lists only 85 20 gauge "C" grade Superposed shotguns manufactured. White bead front and steel bead mid sights on the matte, vent rib barrels with the standard markings executed in fine script characters as opposed to the more common block lettering. With 3 inch chambers with automatic ejectors, full/modified chokes, and matching "C36" serial numbers on the barrels, forearm latch, and upper receiver tang. The receiver is an attractive coin gray with D-5 engraving of broad, deeply cut floral scroll covering the full action body, tangs, and trigger guard. The broader engraving is accented by much smaller fine line scroll engraving in the background. The left side of the action is signed "C. BAERTEN" at the right rear corner. Finely checkered Schnabel tip forearm with matching engraved fittings, and pistol grip buttstock with skip-line checkered bare butt. Length of pull is 14 1/4 inches. With Browning takedown case.

Excellent. 97% plus original blue finish remains on the barrels with some visible rub marks from the forearm on the lower barrel. The engraving is sharp and well defined. The wood is also excellent with attractive figure on the buttstock, crisp checkering, and a few small dings. Mechanically excellent. Case is excellent with some storage marks. Each "C" Grade Exhibition Superposed shotgun was considered a "one off" gun with no two exactly the same!
