The serial number 8J3RP02045 confirms production in 1978, as the “RP” code corresponds to FN’s date marking for that year. Designed by John M. Browning and completed by his son Val, the Superposed was the first commercially successful over/under shotgun, introduced in 1931 and renowned for its balance, reliability, and craftsmanship. The Model B2C, a high-grade variant, features a French grey receiver adorned with intricate game scene vignettes of Pheasants, Turkey, and Quail, signed by master engraver P. Marechal, adding significant artistic and collectible value. FN’s Superposed shotguns, produced in Belgium, are celebrated for their quality and were often marketed under Browning’s name in the U.S., but this example bears the prestigious FN markings, indicating it was likely intended for the European or specialty market (,). Its historical significance lies in its connection to Browning’s innovative design and FN’s legacy of fine gunmaking, making it a prized piece for collectors and sporting enthusiasts. This shotgun is in extremely fine condition, retaining 99% of its original French grey and blued finishes, with excellent checkered walnut stocks showing only minute impressions from careful handling. The 30" Broadway vent rib barrels, choked Full and Modified, are ideal for upland game or trap shooting, and the bright bores reflect meticulous care. The single selective trigger and automatic ejectors ensure seamless operation, while the 14 1/4" LOP, 1 1/2" DAC, 2 1/4" DAH, and 5mm cast-off provide ergonomic handling for right-handed shooters. Weighing 7 lbs 6 oz, this shotgun is well-balanced for field or range use. All markings, including the P. Marechal signature, are crisp and legible.
