belgian browning shotguns?

[chris.terbush]

i have 3 older browning semi-auto shotguns. i inherited them from my father. i am looking to unload them as i do not need all 3. i have no idea where to find the price for these and no idea who i could sell them too. one of the guns is a belgium browning i have no way in knowing which is which. so if anybody could help me out in sending me to a place or even direct me to a site or mag that i can use to figure this out. i will post pictures if anyone shows interest in this post.

www.gunbroker.com, www.gunsamerica.com . You could check those sites for prices.

It depends on how good of shape the gun is in. Post some pics of it, I'm sure we could give you a pretty good ball park.

PM me the seriel numbers and I can tell you the approx worth and date. You have to be accurate on the description as of blueing and wear, and barrel condition (pitted or not)

[chris.terbush]

here are the pictures of the guns. there are 3 total.the gun on top is in very good condition and only showsnormal wear on the wood and thebarrel from the action. the second gun is the oldest gun i assume that it is a belgium ithas a belgium barrel on it with a poly choke on it. it has some signs of blueingdamage and much more used look to the wood. the bottom gun has a hastings barrel on it and aredfield scope 3-7power on it. it is the newest gun and it invery good condition. with no wear on it much at all. onthe very bottom is another belgium barrel. so i am left to assume that i might have 2 belgium brownings. i am not for sure. all three are solid guns and are in good workingorder. i have no idea what they would cost. itook pictures of the numbers on the guns if this might help. again i have no idea what these are worth helpme out please.

Are you loopy ??????????????????????????!!!!! Why the heck would you sell your dad's guns much less a Belgian Browning !!!!!!!??????????

Enough of me .....

The top picture.... the one with ser # xxxxxPZ211 was made in 1981. That gun is of ***anese Manufacture.

The middle serial numberd gun (pic 27 I think) was made in 1967 and is in fact Belgian made.

The final serial # picture gun was made a year later in 1968, and also in Belgium.

The belgian guns "tend" historically to bring a higher price tag, and most of that has to do with the type of guys who historically used them.... older southern guys.... who having seen the ***s bomb Pearl Harbor want nothing to do with anything made in ***an. the *** guns are made every bit as good and perhaps even better than the Belgian guns. Market trends as of late, *** made guns with factory installed choke tubes have been bringing in the most $ (especially 20 gauges).

We could throw #s around on prices, but its hard to tell with jsut pictures... it looks like one of the belgian guns has a replacement stock on it.

Would be interested in hearing why. I have a Light 12 in excellent condition that I am thinking about selling or trading. It has no sentimental value,and has sat in the safe for the last 10 years or so. I am thinking about a new/slightly used Citori to replace it with. Do you think they will be worth a lot of maony soon, or is it becuase they are "better made" than today's guns?Thanks for your input.

I am not sure how much more they will be worth in the futureto be quite honest.. Are they better made then todays guns?.. they were handfitted and made to last a few lifetimes and are not some CNC machined robo assembled modern shotguni with a plastic triggerguard that costs 1200+ dollars. Same amount of felt recoil as that Italian shotgun but has a french walnut stock, hand checkered at that with bluing that any high dollar modernshotgun wishes it had. Even if It didn't have sentimental value I would still not part with it , but that is me.
