1904 Browning A5

[njs86]

Looks like I have come into what seems to be a bronwing A5 from 1904 (serial number 8###). Is the 1904 time line correct? how can you tell the grade and value of the gun?

Pictures would help. And is that the full and complete serial number?

And congrats on having such an early example of a fine shotgun fall in your lap!

Here is some info.
Not sure how accurate it is, but it is a start...................
