The serial number 45987 does not show in any of my sources. The first number begins with 70000. There is one source, Proofhouse.com, which states that before 1958, Browning serial numbers did not contain date or model information, and cannot be dated using the serial number. I would further ask, does your gun actually state 'Hi-Power'? and does it have browning grips or 'FN' [ Fabrique Nationale ] stamped on them? Is the hammer spur or round, does it have fixed or adjustable sights? Is it made in Belgium and assembled in Potugal? All these things may be pieced together to get closer to a manufacting date. John Moses Browning designed this gun, as well as many others such as the Colt Government 1911, but sold the designs or had them made by other companies. FN made most of his guns and FN finally purchased the company in 1977. In 1991 GIAT bought FN -Browning, and they also had some dealings with B.C Miroku [Japan]
If your browning has a 0G prefix to that serial number then it is a light twelve made in 1960. The value is 450-600 dollars in the condition you describe.If it has a vent rib barrel then it is worth 600-750 dollars.

The newer Brownings are being built in Japan. I bought mine new in 1972 from Sears and it was made in Belgium. So sometime between then and now the change was made. The new Weatherbys are also made in Japan now also. ANSWER: Japan production started in 1976. Why the change? Money is usually the answer. Production costs in Belgium were rising. auto5man
