Browning 1972 A-5 question?

thebaddude · 10-01-2007, 07:20 PM

hello im new to the board and i need some advice/help with my question!

a friend of mine gave me this shotgun when he found it in his mothers barn, i did a little research and i know it is a 1972 S#, his mother said it was a gift to her father from the company he worked at and also said that it has never been fired!

anyway thats a brief description about the gun, can anyone give me some advice on about how much this gun is worth!

thanks!

impossible to appraise a gun without seeing it.

Used average condition Belgium A-5's here go for $400-$550

This might be interesting to check out on your '72 Browning.

what would you appraise a gun for that was in really good condition, just a ball park figure would be nice and great!

i wouldnt appraise a car without seeing it, just like i would not a gun.

I agree with Lefty on this one, Brownings can vary from plain-jane to high-end engraved and inlayed works of art and the value varies accordingly.

Selling an A-5 is almost border line criminal!
