Help ID O/U Browning Citori
I bought a Browning Citori Over/Under Grade 1 a few years ago, put it in the safe and forgot about it. Today I brought it out and would like some help identifying the model and approximate date of manufacture. I paid about $900 for it and figure that is about its actual value.
The particulars:
Browning Citori SN 20158PY113, Steel Receiver Made in Japan
12GA, 26 Inch barrels, Vent Rib, Upper **, Lower **-
Barrel marked, Special Steel 12 GA, 2 3/4"
Weight 6 lbs 4 oz.
Straight English style stock, Schnabel Forend, Cut checkoring
Tang extends from trigger guard about 6 inches
Single gold plated trigger
Condition 99% +
I would like to know the choke of the barrels, the model and approximate date made plus any other information you would like to share. Thanks for any replies.

All the information your looking for, as far as DOM and model. Is part of the serial number. The first digits is the actual serial number. The next 2 letters is the DOM code. After is the model/type code, which can be numbers or letters, or both.
You're going to have to give us everything after the first 4 numbers, in the serial number.0 -
What I listed is the entire serial number, 20158PY113 0 -

Sorry! seniorits is setting in.[xx(] "PY" is the date code for 1982. Can't find Citori model 113, on the Browning web site. They have at least 20 different codes, for various Citori's. I can't find 113? Might be my seniorits [xx(]. I don't know?0 -
Got this off the net, about the choke marking on your shotgun. Kind of confusing if you ask me? Your barrels might be both modified?

He said "**" and "**-" for Modified and Improved Cylinder, pretty usual for the type.
The model designation is "Citori Superlight".0 -
Not for 26 inch barrels. 0 -
Standard on the Superlight, though. F&M on 28". 0 -

According to the Browning web site, the designation for the Super Light is A13. OP's serial number, last 3 digits are 113.0 -
i have the same style gun only newer,only with 24" barrels and factory invicta choke tubes and listed as a upland special, if that helps. eastbank. 0 -
It gets more confusing, the Citori Superlight came out in 1982. In 1984 that configuration was cataloged as the Citori Sporter. 0 -

This can be confusing. If all else fails, call Browning, they are very helpful.
