Ive got a 1947 16gauge A5. Thing is about 90% and receiver is covered in engravings. Original butt Plate and blueing. The wood has old dark walnut. Beautiful gun. Whats neat about the gun is i called Browning and got the year of the gun and the person told me that back then, depending on the engraver, alot of the receivers have different engravings. The only draw back is that it says 16gauge, browning did not start calling it a sweet 16 until 1948. Still take it squirrel hunting time to time.
