Up for sale is a classic 1930’s production Browning Auto-5 12 gauge shotgun with matching serial numbers. This Belgian-made A5 features the iconic long-recoil operating system designed by John Browning and is marked “Fabrique Nationale D’Armes De Guerre Herstal Belgique – Browning’s Patent Depose” along the receiver.
This example has a 27” barrel marked “Modified 12 Special Steel,” chambered in 12 gauge and holding 5 rounds in the tubular magazine. The original blued finish remains in solid vintage condition with honest wear consistent with age. The wood stock and forend show handling marks and finish wear as pictured, but remain structurally sound with good checkering still visible.
The matching serial numbers add to the collectibility of this early Auto-5. The buttplate is marked “Automatic Browning,” and the barrel retains its factory markings and Belgian proof stamps.
Overall, this is a great opportunity to own a pre-war Belgian Browning A5 — perfect for collectors, Browning enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a classic humpback shotgun with history.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
