Description:
General Specs: Browning, Year 1961, 12 Gauge, 7lb 4oz, Chokes M/F, LOP 14 3/8", DAH 2 5/8", DAC 1 9/16"
Serial Number: 88716
The Browning Superposed is one of the finest over/under shotguns in history and one of John Browning’s most admired inventions. 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 regular production ended. This is the venerable Browning Superposed Grade 1 with most desirable 28” barrels choked M/F. Most of these guns are found with skeet chokes and are less desirable. As you compare this gun to others, keep in mind that the most desirable Superposed guns are the long tang, round knob guns built before 1966. This Superposed, sn88716 was built in 1961 long before the “salt-wood debacle” that started in the last half of 1966. This fine Browning weighs in at light 7 1/4lbs., making it a superb upland bird gun for carrying long distance and long hours. This gun is all factory original and is in 99% factory condition, with the original length stock with factory butt plate. BEST OF ALL THE FACTORY FITTED THIS SUPERPOSED WITH EXCEPTIONALLY WELL FIGURED EUROPEAN WALNUT…FAR BETTER THAN ANY GRADE I WE HAVE SEEN. Guns built after 1966 were prone to salt contamination and rust because of the way Browning cured their wood. Not all guns were affected, but the marketplace still has an aversion to the later guns with short tangs, and some even with square knob pistol grips. This is a great upland gun that is balanced to perfection and light enough to carry all day afield. We have a factory correct Browning Airways hard case available if you wish to have it cased. We have several from $350 to $425. The value of these earlier Superposed guns continues to climb, so you can invest in this gun and enjoy its use as it gains value. To find a 99% Belgium made Superposed from the pre-salt era with exceptional wood is really a treasure. Thanks for looking!
