My Father gave me a Browning Auto 5 made in Belgium and the serial # is OM-06178.

Curious how old it is, and possible value. Not being an expert by any means...I'd imagine its about 85% condition cosmetically, but always taken care of inside.

Thanks to all, Steve

Shotgunworld.com has a forum called I love my Browning.That is where I found links to Browning serial# and date codes.
