Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Auto 5's with poly-chokes, compensators and recoil pads (other than Mag 12's) will reduce value. A rough ball park figure would be $250-$600 range for this gun. Near mint guns and original box will command an extra premium. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.

Yes, a Browning 16 gauge manufactured around 1925 could be either an Auto-5 or a Sweet 16. The Auto-5 was introduced in 1902 and the Sweet 16 was introduced in 1937, so a gun from 1925 could fall into the transitional period where both models were being produced. It would be best to check the specific markings on the firearm to determine the exact model.
