F/S: Browning Diana Grade Belgium Superposed - Never Fired sold

This is as close to a unicorn for Belgium Superposed collectors as you will find. It is a 1968 manufactured marvelously figured square knob stock, gold selective trigger, Diana grade wide Broadway Trap rib with two white beads and original Browning recoil pad that is still soft, that has NEVER BEEN FIRED.

It is SN: 84xxxS8 manufactured toward the end of the 1968 production run. It is engraved by the premier Belgian FN engraver, Louis Acampo. His signature is clear on the right side of the receiver in picture #7. It has a 30" Broadway Trap rib, a 18.4 bore with fixed chokes of 0.025 bottom and 0.030 on top. It weighs 7 lbs, 12 oz. The stock dims are 1.34x1.45, no palm swell, neutral cast, trap beavertail forearm with finger grooves and a 14.625 LOP. It will ship with its original Hartman Browning case with sheepskin in perfect shape.

For those who are interested in details, in 1968 there were 118 Diana Broadway Trap shotguns produced. 1968 was the first year for the "Texacryl" acrylic wood finishing which is a much more durable finish as you can see from the pictures.

Not interested in any trades. Shipped in lower 48 for $5,500

 

That is a beautiful shotgun!

 

Quite a bargain. Someone should jump on this one.

 

What a jewel.

 

Bill,wondered if u bought this gun new,and do u have the original browning box it came with,not the Hartman case,if u have a minute call me,my name is Buzz,508-728-7899.

 

Does it have any signs of having salt wood?

 

Buzzman -I do not have the paper box Unfortunately.

Inkball - no evidence of salt wood. I’ll post a picture of the pad screws and stock butt later in morning.

 

I have found no evidence of salt wood. I took the buttpad off and looked at the screws which is a telltale sign and no rust evident. Here is a pic of the buttstock without the pad and the screws.

 

Didn't you buy this from Lombaro?

 

Yes, I bought this from Bruno - I bought this for my cousin who is a Browning fanatic and wanted a Superposed to use for his SD pheasant hunting. When he got this gun in person, he decided he didn't want to use something so nice as this in the field, and asked me to take it back. I shoot two Silver Seitz in Trap and don't need a safe queen. Selling to give others a chance to own a piece of Belgium Browning history.
