Browning used the term "Superposed" for it's European made over/unders...it is derived from the French term superpose or to place one over the other. This was the name given to one of John Moses Brownings greatest shotgun designs. About the early 70's Browning began looking for cheaper ways to produce the Superposed and compete with the lower end market for over-unders. From 1973-1975 they introduced the "Leige" model, (named after the firearm engraving capitol of Europe). These were the predecessor to what is now the Citori. It is also known as the B-26 model, still made and available outside the U.S. I have one of the High Grades and they are very nice!....All Leige models were made in Belgium. Hope this helps....

Thanks, Rembrandt. I will look for one. The Citori I tried was good but not as good as the hype about it, same case as my wifes Seecamp .32

That'd be a marketing term for superimposed.
