Browning Superposed Custom Phil Coggan Engraved .410 Bore – Circa 1968

Description:
Offered here is an exceptional custom engraved Browning Superposed chambered in the elegant and highly desirable .410 bore, featuring 28” barrels and master engraving by renowned American engraver Phil Coggan. Built during the golden era of Browning Superposed production, this shotgun represents a refined blend of Belgian craftsmanship and bespoke artistic enhancement.

The Browning Superposed has long stood as one of the most respected over/under shotguns ever produced. Designed by John M. Browning and finalized by his son Val Browning, the Superposed was the last firearm design personally overseen by John Browning. Belgian made examples from the 1960s are especially valued for their fit, finish, and mechanical longevity.
This particular example is elevated far beyond standard production through full custom engraving executed by Phil Coggan, a highly regarded engraver known for his detailed game scenes and refined scrollwork. His work is widely respected among collectors for its depth, balance, and traditional European influence blended with American sporting themes.



We warrant that the firearms are as they appear in our photos but do not warrant mechanical
condition or operation.

The receiver and furniture display detailed hand-cut engraving attributed to Phil Coggan. The work exhibits strong relief, precise line control, and elegant composition consistent with high grade custom sporting arms. Game scenes and scroll elements are executed with excellent depth and contrast, enhancing both visual appeal and collector value.
Custom engraved Superposed shotguns of this quality represent a niche but highly sought-after segment of the fine sporting arms market, particularly when paired with the desirable .410 bore configuration.
