Belgian FN Browning A5 Sweet 16 - Amazing Condition

Thanks for looking at my ad! 

This is the nicest condition old FN made Belgian X Series Sweet 16 I have seen and I think it is the nicest old Belgian I have seen advertised on Gunpost.

Serial X33***

1949 Production - Here is some info from: https://www.shotgunworld.com/threads/browning-a5-16-gauge-serial-number-date-guide.297760/

These are among the rarest of the A5 Sweet Sixteen but are priced as standard 16 gauge A5s in value guides. This is the first year of standard production of the 2 ¾ inch chambered 16 gauge. It is also the last year of the non-engraved sweet sixteen. The popularity and success of the Sweet Sixteen from 1937 through 1947 earned it a permanent place in Browning marketing as the 1948 engraved "Sweet Sixteen." 1947 is also the only year the 3-shot 2 ¾ 16ga was marketed in the USA. Getting one of these extremely rare original factory-issued guns at a standard gun price is a trophy in itself.

This shotgun is highly collectible. 

In the picture with the serial number you can see the FN stamp.

I can ship at Buyer's expense. 

PAL will be verified. 

I might consider trades on a 20ga Citori. 

I am not in a hurry to sell, so lowball offers will be ignored. 

Thanks for looking.
