I recently picked up a 20 gauge FN Superposed. It's a nice little gun weighing in at 6# 8.9 ounces, with 28" barrels. The finish is mostly gone but the gun is in solid shape. Choke markings are F/M but it seems to shoot a little more open than that but need to pattern to be sure. Serial number says 1964 manufacture.

I'm inclined to leave it as is and just shoot it. Any idea of the value?

Can't comment on value but looks in pretty good shape. Yep, leave it as it is and shoot it

Are you sure it a 1964 model? Receiver enravin looks like a pre war model.

The 20-gauge Superposed wasn't introduced until 1949.

As for value I'd say two grand give or take. I agree on leaving it as it is, shoot and enjoy it.

The engraving denotes this as an FN A1 ( commensurate with the Browning Gr I ) it appears to have been well cared for . The top lever is easing close to center but there should be plenty of life left in it. We’re it mine I would be inclined to leave it as is. I tend to prefer well kept Superposed with their original finishes. While I’m not comfortable with giving a valuation without a personal inspection. I will say this, a 20 ga. 28” super is a joy to carry and shoot. Even given that it is a world market gun and not as well received on this side of the pond, I believe Researcher01’s valuation is a bit on the conservative side. Enjoy ✌

Beautiful super. Thanks for sharing.

In my opinion, she is worth a tad more than $2,000. At least around here you could start a fight over that for $2,000 just to see who got there first. Beautiful little gun. Leave it as is and shoot that thing.

I'm assuming that FN uses the same dating that Browning does, it's a V4. Which would be 1964.

I was guessing that the value is a bit above 2k. I've been watching GB for Superposed the past several months and only seen 2, 20 gauge, 28" barrel go for less than 2k. One was a salt wood gun that needed rebuilt and it went for $1,125, the other sold for $1500, I was sorry I missed that one. Others have gone for over $2k, up to over $4k.

I plan on shooting it, dove, quail, pheasants and chucker, with some clays once and a while. With 7/8 oz loads it's a dream to shoot. Might even buy some bismuth and try hunting ducks with it.

Very nice gun. Yes to just leave it as is and shoot it. I love these guns. It is possible to get the chokes opened and the gun so marked if you just have to. Yes, you need to pattern it to see what it is actually shooting.

It's a pretty unique prize, based on my likes anyway. Enjoy it. Twenty bore Supers bring a premium and obviously are harder to find than twelves. With 28 inch barrels, even moreso. 20 bores, when you find them, are commonly 26 inchers. I like your "world market" style forend and the more subdued engraving than the standard G1 Lightnings as well. I own a Superlight of that style in 26 inch 12 bore. I'd enjoy owning that gun. Congratulations, use it in good health!

Congratulations, that's a great looking gun. If mine, I'd keep it original and shoot it as often as I could!!
