Is the gun in question marked Browning Arms Co. or FN?
Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de guerre Herstal
Difficult to see but a beautiful FN on the top lever.



I'm not sure but I'm certain you would know,
Where the early Supers barrel stamped differently for the different markets they were to be sold in?

Thanks.

Pre-War Superposeds were stamped differently for the North American market. Guns for North America were stamped --

and didn't have the FN logo on the top lever.

I said North American above, but I'm not 100% sure if it really includes Canada and Mexico or if the Browning Arms Co. market was just the U.S.
