Description: Browning Superposed 28 Gauge Over & Under

GRADE 1, FACTORY 99%, 1960, RARE FIND!

General Specs: Browning, Year 1960, 28 Gauge, 6lbs 4oz, O/U

Serial Number: 0F116

COLLECTORS TAKE NOTE. THIS COULD BE ONE OF A HANDFUL OF PROTOTYPE 28GA. BROWNINGS. If you have seen BROWNING MARKED, FACTORY barrels in this configuration please contact me to discuss. I have researched and these are BROWNING FACTORY BARRELS, WITH ALL BROWNING ROLL STAMPS CORRECT FOR THE PERIOD, AND BROWNING VENT RIB AND MATTING. There are some that will assume these are Simmons/Cordy made barrels that came out in the late 1950’s, but I have documentation that all Simmons/Cordy barrels were so marked and had a Simmons rib on them. These barrels are all Browning factory in every way, including the vent rib, match the factory letter included with the sale, but they have no side ribs and a unique barrel arrangement at the muzzle. Please call for additional information and photo documentation. Search hard and you will find few Superposed 28ga. guns with the desirable LONG TANG, ROUND KNOB feature. There are several reasons for this, starting with the fact that they did not begin production of the 28ga. Superposed until 1960 and they ended production of long tang, round knob guns in 1965. In a 5-year period only 837 28ga. guns were produced. Why do the collectors and shooters seek these guns out compared to later guns that had short tangs and then square knob pistol grips? First, they are more elegant with the old world long tang. Second, with the short tangs came salt wood. From 1967 to around 1971 the infamous salt wood debacle tarnished the Superposed guns, literally. Salt was used to dry the wood which then ate away at the metal. Browning stood behind its mistakes and replaced much of the bad wood over time, but guns built during that era are always suspect AND FAR LESS VALUABLE. This gun, sn0F116 built in 1960, IS IN FACTORY ORIGINAL 99%+CONDITION, with just a few handling marks in the original wood finish, LOP of 14 3/8”" to the original horn butt plate, and the chokes are unaltered SK/SK. Study the photos and you will see a Grade 1 that saw little use in the field. We believe this is the best Superposed Grade 1 28ga. presently offered for sale at any price, and it is priced under other offerings with less desirable features. This is an investment quality gun that is highly sought after and will only increase in value as you enjoy its use and care for it wisely. This gun is over 57 years old and still like new! Thanks for looking.
