FN Auto-5 12 Gauge – 1926 Belgian-Made Classic – Pre-Browning Import

Description:
FN Auto-5 12 Gauge – 1926 Belgian-Made Classic – Pre-Browning Import
Manufacturer: Fabrique Nationale (FN)
Model: Auto-5
Caliber/Gauge: 12 Gauge
Chamber: 2-¾"
Barrel Length: 28"
Choke: Fixed Full
Stock: Checkered walnut
LOP: Approx. 14-¼"
Sights: Front bead
Finish: Blued
Recoil Pad: Period ventilated rubber pad
Serial Number: 30112 (Mfg. 1926)
Description:
Offered here is a true classic—a Belgian-made FN Auto-5 12 Gauge manufactured in 1926, designed by John Browning and produced before the widespread U.S. Browning branding. This early-production Auto-5 is marked “Fabrique Nationale D’Armes de Guerre – Herstal, Belgique” on the receiver and bears correct Belgian proofmarks.
It features a 28" barrel with a fixed full choke and the signature “humpback” long-recoil action that became iconic among sportsmen and collectors alike.
Bluing is very good, with rich color and minimal edge wear. The walnut stock shows attractive grain with expected handling marks and checkering wear. A period-style ventilated recoil pad has been added.
Mechanically, it functions flawlessly. The bore is bright and clean, and the action locks up properly.
This is a fine example of a pre-Browning-import FN Auto-5—ideal for collectors, vintage shooters, or upland enthusiasts who appreciate true 1920s Belgian craftsmanship.
Condition:

Metal: Very Good – 85–90% original blue remaining
Wood: Good+ – No cracks, light marks from honest use
Bore: Excellent – Bright and shiny
Action: Smooth and fully functional

Curio/Relic: Yes
