Description:
Browning Superposed 20 Gauge Over/Under
SUPERLIGHT, OVER/UNDER GUN
General Specs: Belgium, Year 1970, 20 Gauge, 5lbs 14oz, O/U
Serial Number: 59204 V70
The Browning Superposed is one of the finest over/under shotguns in history and one of John Browning’s most prolific designs. Produced in plain jane Field Grades to the most elaborately engraved and finely stocked shotguns ever seen, production of the Browning Superposed was done in Belgium, running strong from 1931 through 1976 when production stopped. In 1969 Browning introduced the Superposed "SUPERLIGHT" in the 20ga. and finally was born a true upland bird gun. A typical Browning Lightning model weighs about 6 1/2lbs. in 20ga. At 5lbs. 14oz. and balanced perfectly on the hinge pin, this 20 bore Superlight is over 1/2lb. lighter! This is a dynamic upland bird gun, with its straight hand stock, rounded frame, and slim field style forend that can be carried all day without fatigue. This gun, sn59204V70 built in 1970, is one of only 746 total 20ga. Superlight guns made between 1969 and 1977. Better yet, the gun retains 99.5% factory original condition with only a few light handling marks in the wood. Speaking of wood, this Superlight has the nicest figured wood I have ever seen on a Grade 1, as they are usually quite plain. The wood on this gun has that nice smoky black figure lines contrasting nicely with the lighter walnut background. Gunners always are willing to pay more for great wood. Highly desired by upland hunters that are in the know, these guns usually trade in the mid-$4000 range or more when in used condition showing wear on the bottom of the receiver and the usually nicks and dings from use. This gun, with nicely figured factory wood, 99.5% factory finishes, with only the slightest wear by the safety button, clean inside and out and barely fired is worth a bit more, as it is rare to find one in near new condition. We even have the original Browning case that came with the gun that is in superb condition, adding about $300 value to the package. Old-world, hand-crafted guns are becoming a thing of the past. All of the Browning Superposed guns were hand fitted and assembled by experienced gunmakers sitting at their benches, not made by machines and robots like today’s guns. Even the simple engraving is hand cut, as is the checkering. The Superlight guns are special and will only go up in value as you enjoy their use. Thanks for looking!
