90 year old Horn Butt Plate without a single worm hole.

That’s a nice one Bobby! Did you just pick it ip?

What gauge?




.

It is a 12 ga. The 20s weren't made until 1952 I think.

Thanks Reggie, I wasn’t aware of that.

I learn something new here every day.

me too...nice gun...charlie

Does it have the double/single trigger? Very nice example Bobby.

A VERY nice Superposed. Great condition. I've owned a few pre-war Superposed, and they're VERY well made. I especially like the straight grip and double triggers.

I don't know much about Supers but I believe I read that Browning never sold straight stocked guns in the US market until they released the ultralight. The old guns with straight stocks were only sold in the European markets. Is that correct?

Superposed was introduced in 1931. My earlier post about the 20 gauge was wrong. It was introduced in 1949. The Superlight model was introduced in US in 1967.

Beautiful gun!! I'd be proud to shoot some Pheasants with it.

In the 1931 Browning Arms Co. Superposd catalog "There are three styles of grips available when ordering a special stock--(1) Straight Grip; (2) Half Pistol Grip; and (3) Full Pistol Grip. Specify the style grip you want............." A Special Stock was listed at $15.65 extra. You could also order upgraded wood from $35 to $75.

Is the gun in question marked Browning Arms Co. or FN?
