I wouldn’t say so, although it seems likely. The wording in SV is ambiguous. It says those are random numbers, but it’s unclear if he’s talking about the serial or production numbers. I would write the authors and try to get an unambiguous reply about your shotgun. You may even get an answer. Anthony Vanderlinden replied to me when I emailed him about this very special Auto-5: http://www.browningowners.com/forum...16g-a5-heavily-engraved-by-felix-funken.6064/
Kinda doubt it only because my grade 2 also fell in that time serial space. I don’t think I bought 2 of 10. I don’t play any lottery stuff. Maybe I should?
I have tried emailing the authors about this gun but didn’t receive a reply. This is another grade 2 16 that I own
