Is it a Browning?

[erickkl]

Borrowed an o/u from a friend. He said it is a Browning made in Belgium. I can only see 'Acier Special C12 2 3/4' and 'FABRIQUE NATIONALE HERSTAL BELGIQUE' on the sides of the barrel. It is fixed choke of Modified and Full. Does any one knows it and how is it worth?

It is indeed a Browining how much it's worth not a clue

It's the same as a Browning Superposed. Made in the same place by the same people just with a different name. It might command a little less than a comparable Belgian Browning only because it doesn't have the Browning name.

I couldn't say what this particular gun is worth without knowing configuration and condition.

Thank you guys. The gun is in good condition, blueing and wood are 80 % and action is tight and clean.

Doesn't acier just mean special steel???

Yes. Acier is French for Steel.
