My s/n is 19786T37. Anybody got an idea as to when is was made? It is a Belgium made gun. I bought it around 1978, but when I go the the Browning web site, the serial number doesn't make sense. Also the Owners Manual was printed in Japan.
the Serial number does seem a bit odd. Is that s/n consistent with all the markings on the gun and does it say made in belgium on the barrel?
Yup! Belgium on the barrel. I also have a T-series HiPower that is above the s/n that Browning says was made.
