Browning Superposed 12ga

[Marc Ret]

Belgian Browning Superposed 28" 12ga. Chokes- M/F; Round knob long tang. Bluing excellent, wood finish VG. Made in 1953 or 1956- going off memory but I can look up the number later. Two light scratches on the right side of receiver and recoil pad (LOP- 14 1/4") are the only negatives. Otherwise the gun is in beautiful condition. $1450 shipped to CONUS if your FFL will accept from an individual or buyer is in a restricted state. Happy to meet up in south-central PA for a FTF. Cashier's check, postal MOs or cash. Trying to figure out Zelle but my bank is saying only to send payment.

*I have more pics I can provide.

In my experience, the early Browning Supers (before about 1955, has lighter, faster barrels and were a bit better finished than newer guns. My Super 12 is from 1937.

If it was a lightning, it would be so marked on the bottom of the receiver just aft of the joint.

No, mine is not, Bill.

To add to Mike's comments, and save a little time typing, Dave summarizes it well in this post.
