    Belgian Browning A5, 2 3/4" 12 ga., 2 barrels (both original). One barrel is a solid rib 27 1/2", cylinder bore fixed choke and the other has a bead only, is 29 1/2" and I believe, full fixed choke. This gun functions as it should. There is no rust or pitting of any kind. The finish on the attached barrel and the receiver is a very good professional re-blue. It was done decades ago and it is extremely well done as all the lettering is sharp. The barrel with bead only is original finish. This gun comes with the attached stock and forend. It also has the original walnut stock and forend. None of the wood is gouged and is in surprisingly good cosmetic shape. Here are the only faults I know about: 1) The walnut stock through hole has wallowed out some over the years and it wiggles. It needs a hard wood plug and re-drill to make it a solid fit again. 2) Many years ago, the receiver was drilled and tapped for a Williams peep sight. Therefore, there are two very small holes on the right side of the receiver that are now filled with set screws. This is cosmetic only and doesn't affect the function of the gun. You won't find a nicer Belgian A5 that's almost 90 years old! Now $825

    The bluing is gorgeous with all markings crisp. It functions like it should. The pre-war craftsmanship is evident.
