Browning o/u 12 gauge - model.?????
Hello again.
Is it possible to find a model or any info from a Browning O/U 12gauge shotguns serialnumber.??? It is a cal 12/70 (2 3/4")
The engraving is a hunting-motif... but from what I can see, it isn't marked with a model.
Serial number is : 251PV12426

HappyNanoq,
If possible, a couple of pictures might help jog the members memories.
Also when you remove the forearm there should be some proof marks as well as on the water table. Pictures of these marks might add a little more information to the story.

That seems to be it. [:)]0 -
"Engraved with a hunting motif" might be what was once known as a Pointer or Diana grade; one or two steps above standard.
PV = 1985 but the 251 prefix is not on their chart. Perhaps it is a Liege model made for the European market after it was discontinued in the US.0 -
The site at this link shows all the Browning product codes. Product code #251 isn't listed, at least I couldn't find it? Because of this I tend to agree with HC, i.e. It was made by FN for the European market.
Best bet would be for you to contact FN, through their importer/distributor in Denmark.

The takedown latch on the superposed is Different from any other model
look at ad for other superposed on GunBroker. and compare to your shot gun.0 -
Is the receiver blue or silver? 0 -
Browning now offers history letters for @40 USD. 0 -
Seems that we got through to the danish importer.
They said it was a Browning B125, from the serial-number. But must be an early model, as it wasn't marked B125 - or any other model-designation for that matter.
Receiver is "silver", barrels are blued, takedown latch is a long slender thingie at around 3" in length, and the forestock doesn't come off easy. (I'm sure there is a trick to it, but I haven't found it yet.)
Besides, it's my cousins gun, so I coudn't get back to you with pictures.0
