Browning Manufacture Date ?

Postby David » Thu Jul 10, 2008 6:22 pm

My latest aquisition is a Browning B25 Serial # 24320S4.
From what I can find on the www the S denotes 12bore and the 4 means 1964. Can anyone confirm if that is correct please. The state it is in it could well be 44 years old :grin:

Thanks for that Foxy - did you mean to say '64 or is it actually '62 :)
