  Your shotgun was made in 1965 per the Browning web site. It was made in Belgium and more commonly known as the superposed. "S" was the designation for 12 gauge shotguns made between 1962 & 1968. Unless it has been altered it was chambered for the standard 2 3/4" shells. Check the shotgun for any markings showing it has been altered for longer shells after leaving the factory.
  
  We need quality photos for purposes of positive identification and valuation.
  
  EDIT #1, I would first use "Browning Lightning" as a search term, then "Browning Superposed".

  Start your search with browning shotguns. Some are listed incorrectly.
