Browning Auto-5 Sweet Sixteen Semi-Auto Shotgun
serial #X91621, 16 ga., 26'' ventilated rib barrel marked modified choke gauging full with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1953 Belgian made gun retain perhaps 92-95% original blue that is evenly thinning with plum undertones in direct light with scattered specks of fine oxidation staining, a spot of oxidation at the muzzle and silvering along its high edges. The frame features Grade I engraving with all markings remaining crisp. The bolt remains bright with a few scattered specks of oxidation staining and the trigger retains about 75% gold finish with silvering along the left side. The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock and forend rate very good with overall light handling marks and spots of flaked varnish. The buttstock has been neatly shortened providing a length of pull of 13'' to the correct horn FN buttplate showing a few minor flakes and fitting marks around its periphery. Included is a two-piece factory box remaining in good to perhaps very good condition with scattered ink markings and a small tear in both top and bottom halves. The end label matches the gun and has separated from the box but is included. (10B11742-1) {C&R} (1500/2000)
