I purchased a Browning A5 recently, and I was wondering what the approximate value of it might be so I know if I paid a good price. I would prefer not to say what I spent.
Anyway, here are some details. The gun was made in the 1930s. The receiver and the barrel have almost all of their blue-ing. However, there were tiny spots on the receiver and barrel that had a slight rust colored distortion (very thin rust), but using a standard pencil eraser, almost all of the discoloration was removed. The gun is all matching. There is a small crack that had been repaired (not visible from the outside) along the handguard. It does not affect the guns function. It has an adjustable choke on it, which seems in good working order. I also noticed that it has ribbing above the barrel, which I read makes them more valuable as not every A5 in the 1930s had them. The thing that stood out to me the most was the blue-ing. It is almost completely intact.
I have no intentions of selling this gun, and I am wondering the value because of curiosity.
Thank you,
John
