Hello all,
I am wondering what you would consider the value of a Browning A-5 to be that I recently saw at a gun store. It has a serial number (in the 215xxx's) that places it being made in 1938. The gun is in good condition, with a very minor crack in the handguard. The handguard does match the receiver. The bore is in excellent shape and has a mirror finish. The gun itself has only small spots of light rust, particularly on a couple of screws and a little on the bottom of the receiver, but it could probably be wiped off with some gun oil. There is some engraving on the receiver.
The bolt is marked with a P.V. with an M above it with an asterisk looking this above the M. The same insignia is marked on the side of the receiver. The bolt's serial number matches the receiver.
The barrel's serial number is 186xxx.
How much do you think it is worth?
