What we were told by Browning is that it is a first year (1973) production gun and that there were less than 200 made in this configuration. The serial number sequence does not match the numbering convention of later guns. He bought it 10 years ago in unfired condition for what he thought would be a good grouse gun. So it has been shot quite a bit since then for everything from sporting clays, doves, pheasants, and grouse/woodcock.
