After my dad passed away, we found a shotgun I didn't know he had. From what I can tell, it's a 1953 Browning Sweet 16. It has an "X" serial number in the 94k range.
There was some light rust on the top of the receiver and end of the barrel that cleaned up pretty easily. No pitting but some of the bluing is gone as a result. It has a gold trigger that is very smooth. It's a very handsome shotgun that carries and points like a dream and is fully functional.
This is a full choke kicker that I just don't plan to use and I don't ever remember my father using it. I suspect he got it from a relative some time in the past 10 years. I'm thinking of either selling it or trading it for an over/under of equal vintage and value, because I would use the O/U. As it sits, I most likely wouldn't use the sweet 16.
Any advice on what I should value it at or what I should do with it would be welcome. Thank you!
