claysandgame Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 That’s a very nice gun - lucky you! Looks like a prestige, but without the teardrops - see link below: https://www.sportarm.com/guns/browning-b525-prestige-over-and-under-20-gauge/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmiller Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi thanks i am struggling as I thought the same but obviously the teardrops are puzzling me?! Aaargh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claysandgame Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Could it be a replacement stock? Might explain the lack of teardrops. Engraving looks to be the same though so I can’t see it being anything else....he says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmiller Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 No it’s not a replacement stock as the guns never been fired. Still stiff like new. Maybe just didn’t have tear drops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNKS Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Browning will answer an email almost by return. They did with me when I asked them. All they need is serial number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodbepigeonshooter Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Teardrops are an option when buying. I have a grade 6 without would agree that it looks like a grade 5 or prestige which look better than the 6 with the gypsies kiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilR Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) That's the same engraving as my wife's 425 grade 5, no dropped points either. I think the 325 grade 5 also had the same engraving. Edited February 1, 2021 by PhilR Added comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
