I have a shotgun that seems almost too good to be true. Its a Browning A5 made in 1903. Serial number 25xx. Thing is, came from a private collection of an old fellar with an affinity for high end collectibles, andnthis thing is like new. Perfect wood, bluing, not a single piece of evidence ever being fired. No polish marks, no worn screw holes, not a mark on a single screw. Researched every article I could on evidence of a firearm being reblued and refinished and every detail shows this to be an original firearm. Judging by other firearms he had, I'm not suprised. Plus, the other personal possessions of his were the same way (jeeps, harleys, john deeres), you get the picture. I purchased 3 other firearms that were also in like new never fired condition from the 50s and 60s, and my friend bought a couple that were as well. But those were easy to research. I really am not looking for offers, I don't wish to sell it. But old A5's really arent worth much. But then again, never heard of a first run model in unfired condition either. So, whats it worth???? Might trade it for a pair of 17th century Turkish dueling pistols...lol......or something
