I was given an old Browning Auto-5 in 16ga not long ago and I am trying to find out how old it might be. Its serial # is 112xxx and it has the old style safety in the front of the trigger guard.
I saw this quote on the Browning website:
"Beginning with Serial Number 1 to approximately 228,000. Exact production figures are not available. Year of manufacture on Pre-World War II production is strictly a guess."
I am hoping someone has a good educated guess as to when this Auto-5 was made.
Thanks for looking and thanks for any help and leads.
