From the chart in Ned Schwing's book, The Browning Superposed, it appears as though the gun was made up in 1969.
But even Schwing states that the dates are "estimated dates of manufacture." |

I have no idea what XX would designate. I have never seen that either.

Is the serial number the same everywhere it appears on the gun?

Guns made before the 1960s did not have letters in the numbers.

I’ve got a 20 gauge Superposed that was made in 1951 that’s nothing but numbers . Never seen XX in the serial number before .

If we could see pictures of the gun, maybe we could determine the age, consequently the serial number range.

Unfortunately the gentlemen left the club after showing us the gun. He said he would be back this coming Saturday if so I'm sure he'd allow me take photos and check for matching serial numbers.
Thanks for all your responses. |
