Early Fabrique Nationale B1 Grade - FN FACTORY STANDARD

Description:
--------
SOLD! This item has found its new home with another friend and fellow dedicated and discriminating BrowninG collector I have known for many years - Congratulations and Thank You, my friend! 
--------
#32200 was entered in the FN shipping ledger October, 1952. 28” F/M (.033”/.022”) solid, tapered rib (7mm:5mm) 'Field' gun 2-3/4" chambers. Double-triggers (traditional), round knob pistol grip (fr: crosse pistolet).  1½" DAH x 2¼" DAC x 14-1/4" standard LOP to a perfect horn butt plate. 

This is closest example you will probably ever have the opportunity to own that represents the original ‘factory’ quality standards in all aspects for the Fabrique Nationale B1 Grade. Exceptionlly clean and elegant original European-style Superposed. Very scarce in this condition, anywhere.

Comments:
As a researcher & collector, I understand the importance of verifying as many details as needed to avoid the trouble (to both buyer and seller) of shipping for inspection, only to be returned. You will only be able to confirm actual condition/details and either agree or disagree with my valuation, by personal inspection – so it is pointless to waste time (yours and mine) making a counter-offer or attempt to negotiate until you’ve reviewed the item in person. I have attempted to represent my items accurately and price them fairly, given my current knowledge of FN/BrowninG Superposed production history and details including originality, authenticity, desirability, and availability in the current collectible firearms market based on years of study, research, recording historical sales data and developing an understanding of the ‘factory’ standards of quality.


Transaction Details:
Once a buyer notifies me and commits to pursue purchase, I will provide an address for mailing of funds and a current copy of the receiving FFL. FFL copy may also be electronically transmitted to my FFL’s e-mail address (provided upon request). Due to recent changes in ATF shipping requirements, FFL-to-FFL shipments only. Buyer pays actual shipping costs (TBD) and insurance costs (UPS Ground) to lower 48. International shipments considered. Payment by Personal Check, Certified Check, or Money Order. 7 business-day waiting/clearance period applies to all except Postal Money Orders. Electronic payments considered for convenience and to expedite the process. The receiver of the shipment shall be responsible for inspecting the package for any signs of impact or damage and notifying the carrier before opening and before the carrier leaves FFL's premises. The listed price basically secures a 3-Day non-shooting, non-disassembly inspection, and return privileges. Item does not leave the receiving FFL’s premises until either transferred to the new owner or returned via that FFL. 3 Day = Day 1 is when UPS delivers the package to your FFL. Day 1 or 2, review the item and make a decision. Day 2 or 3, notify me of your intent to keep or return the item. Day 3 (if returning the item), provide a tracking number and confirmation of insurance for the declared value (listed price) and have your FFL get it on UPS ‘pick-up’ before the end of business hours. If you are not satisfied with the item as priced, just notify me and I will provide a return FFL address. Return item in the same condition and as packaged and insured for purchase amount to my FFL holder. I will re-inspect the item and refund the sale price less my initial shipping and insurance costs plus $35 (my FFL’s re-transfer fees) if the item's condition is verified 'as-sent'. Feel free to ask questions and request photos of specific views via e-mail feature below. I’m not opposed to one-on-one conversation to gain a comfort level with me. I'll be happy to provide what you need, to make an informed assessment and decision. I also enjoy exchanging information with like-minded aficionados of the Superposed and hope to learn more about unique examples from the pre-war thru 1960 FN product line. Thank you for your interest and serious consideration.
