Same inquiry about 15 threads down .... one would think the Begian made A5 to be worth a little more, but the absence of choke tubes and unsuitability for steel shot is a factor limiting value.
Between 1966 & 1971 Browning's "salt curing process" for walnut
compromised prices as well, leaving some guns subject to oxidation where wood meets metal. This was especially prevalent on bolt guns, BAR's , T Bolts and Superposed's.
