Browing SA 12 ga. Belgium Made, Military?

folks. I just recieved an old Brwnng. 12 ga., semi automatic, from a deceased relative. It's pretty old and has some very curious markings on it. One on the other side of the bolt says : "Fabrique Nationale D'Armes De Guerre Herstal Belgique" What the hell does that mean? It seems like every part has a little stamping on it too. Is this thing worth anything?

ok I figured out it is a pre-war 1935 Auto-5 (a5). the serial number is 155XXX. Anyone know an app. value. It has a spot of light rust on the barrel, a couple old dings in the stock but looks like it'll clean up to very good or excellent condition.
curious.
