Search hard and you will find few Superposed 28ga. guns with the most desirable LONG TANG, ROUND KNOB feature for sale. 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 particular 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. And 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 guns, and its mistakes, and replaced much of the bad wood over time, but guns built during that era are always suspect. This gun, sn677F4 built in 1964, IS IN FACTORY MINT CONDITION. The metal and wood retain virtually all of the factory finish and only light handling marks can be found in the wood. The original LOP is 14 1/4" to the butt plate, and the chokes are unaltered SK/SK (.005/.008 by bore micrometer, about perfect bird chokes over pointing dogs). Study the photos and you will see perfect checkering, deep dark blue, perfect screws, sharp engraving, and no wear to the trigger guard or gold trigger. We even have the original Browning instruction package with the warranty card and original owner's hard plastic credit card like "Browning SUPEPOSED Guarantee" card, all in excellent condition. There is no box. We believe this is the best Superposed Grade 1 28ga. offered for sale at this time, and it is priced well under other offerings. 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 50 years old and still like new! Thanks for looking.
