Here’s a fine piece of sporting history — a Belgian-made Browning Auto-5 12ga, serial number 225228, dating to the late 1930s. With its distinctive “humpback” receiver and long-recoil operation, this John M. Browning design became an icon among waterfowlers and upland hunters alike. This example features a factory solid rib barrel with a functioning Poly-Choke for on-the-fly pattern adjustment. The engraving remains crisp and well-defined, and the checkered walnut stock shows honest wear without abuse. Whether you’re a shooter, a collector, or both, this vintage A5 blends timeless function with old-world craftsmanship. Built to be passed down — and still ready for the field.
