Dogs Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Looking to date identify a browning which has come my way, but there is no obvious model identifications etc on the gun ? It's obviously a citori ,325,425,525, type but struggling to get any clues, anyone help ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcw65 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 With the engraving its a grade 5. So most likely a 425 grade 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Not sure it’s G5 quality wood in my opinion and there’s no drop points ( tear drops ) which I would expect of that grade, although I don’t mind being proved wrong. It bears the Browning logo but reminds me of a Miroku. 🤷♂️ Sorry, not much help I know. Give @Miroku Matt a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8 shot Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 I had a 425 20 bore that looked very very similar to that, that was a grade3. I've got two grade 5s both have drop points and Scroll engraving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 (edited) In Jamaica asking someone for help in "dating a browning" (with a small b) means if they can fix you up to go out with a light skinned girl. Just so you know. Having a now thirty-two year old son with a Jamaican, as below, reading or hearing the words always makes me smile. However back to the subject of dating a Browning with a capital B. https://www.browning.com/support/date-your-firearm.html?srsltid=AfmBOorO-T_W5Eo9QKHkvDoBbg7yMLNdjXONrdHA-ebZqKc3Df1mDDP2 Which a search will eventually bring you to this. As another has already said 1987 is pretty much on the target. https://www.browning.com/support/date-your-firearm/citori-over-under-shotgun.html Edited February 3 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK11 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 The gun is a B325 Grade 2. I bought one new, well over 30 years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogs Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 Cheers for the help/advise , looked at a few of these guns but it's the first I have seen that hasn't got any obvious model identifications on the action or barrel, If it's a 325 that's a plus I reckon, always liked the 325 👍 thanks again 51 minutes ago, MK11 said: The gun is a B325 Grade 2.
