Well for starters, a 16ga Auto 5 made in the 1920's will have a 5 digit number. When Browning started to import guns in 1923, the 16gauge guns started at around the 26,000 range. If you truly do have a 16ga. Auto 5 with a four digit number then it was made between 1909 and 1913. 1909 was the first year that FN made 16 gauge guns, starting with serial # 1 thru serial# 3200. Then numbers 3201-15000 were made out of sequence for the next four years. So a four digit number was probably made between 1909 and 1911. If you have one of these guns then you need to know that it is not a Browning Arms Co. gun, but a Browning designed A5 made by Fabrique Nationale or "FN" and was sold to countries outside the US. The barrel will be marked with the words "acier special". If the above does not describe your gun, then your gun has a letter or a letter & number combination above or preceding the four digit serial number. It was not made in 1925. Before commenting on the value, the gun would need to be identified as to when it was made. Please re-check the serial numbers and look at the barrel for the words acier special.
Stated before, check the serial number. four digits were not made in 1825
Probably 1966. Call Browning to verify. Can't value with just the serial number
This would be worth 500 to 2500 dollars depending on the condition. This is a valuable shotgun if someone is desiring to sell.

There are many places where someone can purchase a Browning knife. Stores such as Dicks Sporting Goods and Bass Pro Shops both sell the Browning knife.
What exactly does "almost perfect" mean? Is that your definition or the definition given to you by someone who buys/sells weapons for a living? Value is dependent on it being graded against accepted standards (NRA, Blue Book of Values, etc.) and even those differ between the entities that use them. Also, are there any accessories present? Got the original box, owner's manual, etc.. If not, expect value to drop accordingly. Engraving also adds or detracts value depending on who did it, when, whether it is or isn't factory, etc.. Your location and the location of the buyer affect value. Regional price differences can be in excess of 200-500 USD depending on what you are trying to sell. Additionally, the time of the year affects prices also. Bottom line - It's only worth what someone will pay for it.
Value depends on condtion, how bad you want to sell it, how bad someone wants to buy it, what caliber it is, any accessories, the box, original papers, etc.. Range from 200-600 USD.
