Dear Browning Prewar Superposed Lovers:
With all the recent postings about Pre-war Superposed Brownings, I just couldn't help myself. So here's some pics of my recent first purchase of a pre-war:
Serial number says it is a 1932 gun. But Glen at Browning says it invoiced and shipped in 1935 (the year my dad, who passed away last summer, was born, which makes it all the more special to me). Letter of Authenticity on the way.
Beautiful wood. Twin-single triggers, invented by JMB's son, Val Browning. Awesome!!
30" barrels. Solid rib. Twin ivory beads.
Tasteful engraving.
Some guns have "Browning Superposed" stamped on the rib, some don't. I'm glad this one does!
Love how the checkering comes to a point under the round knob. Browning should have stayed with this pattern.
Ah, the trademark horse shoe . . .
Love the shape of the safety, and the golden "S", and the tasteful engraving.
Browning Arms Co - Ogden, Utah and St. Louis, MO
Special "thanks" to:
** Dave Buffington (Tempter, Wordsmith, patient salesman, all-round good guy & Seller)
** NoDak Scotty, Lowgun (technical advisors)
** LTMFH, Musky Jack & Slugo (comrades in arms, pen-pals)
Thanks for your interest.
