Seeing that you did not state what gauge your shotgun is in,the Browning auto-5 shotgun chambered in 12 gauge with the serial number 49322 was made in 1921,if you have a 16 gauge model auto-5 shotgun then it was made in the year 1926.
Please state the guage and condition of the gun
You will need to call Browning.If your shotgun has the serial number 96052,in 16 gauge then it was made in the year 1932.The serial numbers for a 16 gauge shotgun that year were 94001-96072.These were not Sweet Sixteen shotguns thou.The Sweet sixteen model shotgun was made from 1937-1975.If besides the serial number you have a letter prefix,or a letter and number prefix then please state this in your question for the correct year of production of your shotgun.
You did not state the model, but there was an Automatic-5 with that number made in 1953.
You must state if it is a rifle, revolver, semi-automatic handgun, rifle or shotgun.
If you have a Browning auto-5 shotgun in 16 gauge(you do not state)then it was made in the year 1928.
The value cannot be given unless you state the model of your shotgun and its overall condition,with the info you have already posted.
While you do not state what gauge your browning auto-5 shotgun is in?I can say that if you have a 12 gauge model it was made in 1927.If you have a 16 gauge then it was made in 1930.based on the serial number that you provided.
No published sn data. Most likely made 70-100 yrs ago.
While you do not state weather your Browning superposed lightning is a 12 gauge,or 20 gauge.I am going to assume that it is a 12 gauge.The serial number indicates that your shotgun was made in the year 1959.If your 12 gauge Browning shotgun has between 60%-90% of it,s original finish remaining and a good set of bores it will bring between 750-1,050 dollars.The same value applies if this shotgun is a trap model also.
No less than three years and that depends as to nature of the weapon (as to what state it was in when found (defaced ( serial nubers erased), loaded. And if shotgun cut off ect)
Probably not, this company apparenly went in and out of business a couple of time during the late 1800's and was finally absorbed by Hopkins and Allen (who continued to make the Bay State Gun) who did not last all that long themselves. Fire arms were just another product in those days and manufacturing records, especially for these smaller co., were rarely preserved.
