COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a true time-capsule piece of classic Belgian sporting shotgun history: an original 1968-manufactured Belgian Browning Auto-5 Light Twenty chambered in 20 Gauge for 2 3/4 inch shells. Produced by Fabrique Nationale in Herstal, Belgium, this ultra-desirable semi-automatic scattergun features a 28-inch ventilated rib barrel fixed-choked Modified. Carrying serial number 68Z31753 stamped cleanly into the receiver underside, factory dating explicitly confirms its 1968 production year, offering advanced Browning purists an incredible opportunity to acquire a pristine, late-1960s light-frame Auto-5 in as-new condition.
This extraordinary collector package arrives 100% complete with its factory-original black-and-gold Browning cardboard box complete with Styrofoam insert and matching end label identifying Model LIGHT 20, 28" barrel, Modified choke, Vent Rib, and serial number 68Z31753. The comprehensive paperwork suite includes the original Auto-5 instruction manual, Browning factory booklet, and an incredible original J.C. Penney payment agreement sales receipt dated August 13, 1968, reflecting the matching serial number documented in the owner record section. Stocked in rich, high-gloss checkered French walnut, this complete grouping represents a museum-grade time capsule.
Preserved in phenomenal 99%+ ANIB condition, this Belgian Auto-5 remains consumer unfired and unused throughout its lifetime. The factory blue finish exhibits intense mirror-like depth with the only minor cosmetic imperfections being a few tiny surface specks of freckling on the top receiver tang and two barely perceptible pressure marks on the buttstock from historical handling. Mechanically, the long-recoil action functions with vault-tight precision and smooth factory timing, while the 28-inch ventilated rib barrel retains a 100% pristine, mirror-bright bore.
