Item Description

This listing is for the exact documents in the photos. Shoppers who simply want an instruction and safety manual may download them free on browning com. From one of our local sales in the 1960s comes this never used Browning Instruction Booklet and Factory Registration Card for the Browning Auto Five 12 Gauge Light Twelve, semi automatic shotgun. Publisher was Fabrique Nationale of Herstal, Belgium, attest the Made in Belgium phrase printed on the envelope. Booklet marking 3-59 on its back page, next to the words Printed in Belgium, dates its production. Note the Zone designation, Zip Codes were not yet invented in 1959. Contents are entirely original FN Browning. Envelope is 4 3/8 by 6 7/8 with eyelet reinforcement and with the original string for affixing it to the shotgun. Instruction Manual Booklet consists of 22 pages inside their cover, 4 1/8 by 5 3/4 inches; and the factory registration card addressed to 719 First Security Bank Building in Ogden, which had no zones at the time. Surface detractions are minimal, only aging on the manual and card, and faint obverse stains on the envelope. We rate these documents are Very Good, perhaps even Excellent Condition, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. These will greatly enhance the value of an Excellent Condition Light Twelve. We’re offering this exact set for only $ 139.00.
