Description:

Manufactured in 1969. Browning introduced the Superlight in 20 guage in 1969. Consistent with that timing, this gun has the features that appear only on the earliest Superlights, namely the distinctive tapered forearm and the European style non-fluted comb. Blued Special Steel barrels with single steel bead sight on the matted vent rib, standard markings, 2 3/4 inch chambers with ejectors, and chokes marked improved cylinder/modified. Standard Grade I engraving on the blued receiver which features a single gold trigger and tang mounted safety/selector switch. Multi-point checkered, walnut forend and straight grip stock with Browning buttplate. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration when it was sold to Moneymakers Gunscraft of Omaha, NE on November 3, 1971. Includes the original box, numbered to gun. Stock measurements: 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 1/16 inch drop at heel; 14 3/16 inch length of pull; weight 5 lbs 13 oz.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue finish, limited handling evidence, and sharp checkering on the wood. The box is very fine with light wear. Mechanically excellent.
