Of course condition is important. You might check on gunbroker or gunsamerica and see what they are selling for.

There has been a FN Belguin on AA for that last 3~4wk priced at $375 with no bids. It looks >90% wood and metal. Its a top feed and 22Short. If I wanted an older Browning I'd be happy with the FN at that price.
I have no interest in that auction; just passing the info.
edit:
Oh yeah you ain't gonna find a Belguin Browning at twice that price.

Price will depend on how "early" too.
We paid $375 for a 1961 model in 95% plus condition two years ago and thought it was a excellent deal. Have seen a few at gun shows, Belgian made, some 60's vintage, within $100 of that price, since. Then some guys will want $750 too, so the market like most things is wide open, and buyer beware

Yeah a month or more back a FN Belguin went for over $700 on GB. A Belguin FN or Browning in any San Antonio GS will go depending on condition for $1000 and up.

Just looked it over real close and it is mint except a 4X Bushnell scope mounted that may or may not have left a mark. Had no idea they were bringing those prices. We'll be watching the tables closer from now on.

Not w/o knowing the Grade (I, II, II, etc) and the remaining % of original factory finish on wood/metal, plus it's mechanical operating condition, including known defects - like a cracked buttstock from some onnocent using it as a takedown handle.
Also, what type of rear barrel sight does it have ?

I would say it is in pristine condition,for both the metal and the wood. It has a fold down rear sight.
