Browning sweet 16
Considering buying extremely clean A-5. Near perfect stocks no cracks and no modifications from original. 28"(?)bbl with cross-hatched sight plane (no rib), modified choke, extremely fine blue and shiny bright inside. Gold(?) trigger has a little spotting. Has little (3"X5")instruction booklet. Comes with several boxes of Federal Monarch paper shells of varying shot and old Outers cleaning kit. Seller asking $750.00 but I would appreciate your thoughts as to value. I'm unable to determine year of manufacture at the Browning website...s/n is S14671. Thanks. Best, Jim (timbroman@aol.com)

Trying to get an idea as to what a Belgium Browning Sweet 16, Serial# X44470, might be worth. I believe it was made in 1951, plain barrel and in very good to excellent condition. I have a chance to buy it and neither the seller or I really know what the value is. Thanks. 0 -
Wellcraft - I believe 1966 manufacture. If indeed "perfect" could be worth a grand or more. I don't understand the rapid rise in value but look at the GB auctions and you'll get a good idea. Some value adjustments for originality of wood and steel - ribbed barrel - degree of choke - that kind of thing. Sounds like you have a very nice shotgun. 0 -

Thank you for your replies.There were 3 brownings in my father's collection.An identical sweet 16 was purchased for my mom the same year as mine.The other is a much older one,I'm not even sure what model that one is.They are all original and have been stored in the same cabinet since new.My father passed away in 1973 and they've barely been handled since. 0 -
