[QUOTE="ROON, post: 2926623, member: 11270"] Hello old friends. Need some help on a old A5 Browning shotgun. I'm trying to find out some history on a shotgun I was just given by my father in-law. I like to know what I have and it's bugging me not knowing the history and specifics of this old shotgun. I've looked at Browning's website and found out dating a pre WWII A5 is next to impossible. But I thought I'd ask the pros on here. So I think it's between a 1903 and 1939. The serial number is 4407 which should mean the barrel should be stamped with "Browning automatic arms co". Mine is stamped Browning arms company. The butt plate also looks way out of date. I would like any info or history you guys could throw my way. Thank you! %5BURL=[URL='http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/D6588BA0-075E-4E5B-B73D-5B7AE0A87202_zps5pqkum9v.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a507/sldpulr/A5/D6588BA0-075E-4E5B-B73D-5B7AE0A87202_zps5pqkum9v.jpg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D']http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/D6588BA0-075E-4E5B-B73D-5B7AE0A87202_zps5pqkum9v.jpg.html][b][Broken External Image][/b][/URL][/URL] %5BURL=[URL='http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/C410ACB6-0267-4F8E-9619-D7510D90D70B_zpsktxvx4ri.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a507/sldpulr/A5/C410ACB6-0267-4F8E-9619-D7510D90D70B_zpsktxvx4ri.jpg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D']http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/C410ACB6-0267-4F8E-9619-D7510D90D70B_zpsktxvx4ri.jpg.html][b][Broken External Image][/b][/URL][/URL] %5BURL=[URL='http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/E7BB6C18-B55B-4BEA-B0FF-795BBF66E2D5_zpsfutbxisi.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a507/sldpulr/A5/E7BB6C18-B55B-4BEA-B0FF-795BBF66E2D5_zpsfutbxisi.jpg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D']http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/E7BB6C18-B55B-4BEA-B0FF-795BBF66E2D5_zpsfutbxisi.jpg.html][b][Broken External Image][/b][/URL][/URL] %5BURL=[URL='http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/C4878AB0-0411-49BB-B2A3-DD1F3F83FDA1_zps58grp3lo.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a507/sldpulr/A5/C4878AB0-0411-49BB-B2A3-DD1F3F83FDA1_zps58grp3lo.jpg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D']http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/C4878AB0-0411-49BB-B2A3-DD1F3F83FDA1_zps58grp3lo.jpg.html][b][Broken External Image][/b][/URL][/URL] %5BURL=[URL='http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/19F97932-5981-4D24-99C4-7B54A28C8584_zps5s6zgenb.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a507/sldpulr/A5/19F97932-5981-4D24-99C4-7B54A28C8584_zps5s6zgenb.jpg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D']http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sldpulr/media/A5/19F97932-5981-4D24-99C4-7B54A28C8584_zps5s6zgenb.jpg.html][b][Broken External Image][/b][/URL][/URL] [/QUOTE]
