No serial number provided.Browning had the model 525 available from the year 2002-2008.
Basically the same gun. 325 came out first and while it did have a silver receiver just like the 525, the engraving was much more plain on the 325. They also made a 325 Grade 2. browning 325 has a flatter top rib and unvented barrels came in grades from grade1, very plain to grade 6 ornate ingraving with inlayed gold ducks and red setter. i have b525 and i much prefer my wifes b325 better gun if you can find one. They have a cult following. my b525 is been sold for a grade 6 b325 older than the b525 but better
