Have this posted in the classified someone suggested posting it here, so hear I am . I have Browning light twelve believe fn made 29 1/2 vented rib barrel the overall condition is in good condition I'm trying to figure out the date of manufacture the serial numbers don't match up to anything I've read on other sites, looking for some knowledge all help is appreciated.

Made for the European market which has a different numbering system. I'm pretty sure the small numbers are year of manufacture. Look at the stamping on the barrel, if it doesn't have a U.S. address then a European gun is what you have.

It's been a while since I actively looked for A-5s but that is what I recall off hand.

I appreciate the information

I paid $750 for a very nice 1967 VR specimen about four years ago.
