Factory Engraved ''C'' Series Browning Superposed High-Grade Over/Under Shotgun, #C4. 20 ga. 28'' vent rib barrels have 3'' chambers and are choked Full/Full. The Superposed action features a single selective trigger, non-auto safety and auto ejectors. All the barrel markings appear to be hand-engraved. Receiver, trigger guard, tangs and forend iron are all deep blued, then game birds were added in gold; snipe on the left side, valley quail on the right, and a bobwhite quail on the bottom. Then elaborate gold vines and gold borders were then added to all surfaces around the birds. Engraving was done by FN Master Engravers ''Vrancken'' and ''J.M. Florent''. Slender forend with Schnabel tip and pistol-grip buttstock are of high-gloss dark ''marble cake'' walnut, with extensive checkering at 28 LPI plus carved oak leaves around all the grip checkering and on the bottom of the pistol grip. Butt features skip-line checkering only. Gun is contained in a brown Browning hard case. Exact manufacturing date is unknown. Condition is absolutely original and near perfect, having been shot very little. Action is still quite stiff, needing a good cleaning; bores are bright. Est.: $15,000-$20,000.
