Browning (Stamped U.S. Property)
	"This Browning A-5 is a 16 Gauge Automatic manufactured in the 1920's. I bought this gun for its collector value and to keep loaded for home protection. The 16 gauge shotgun shell reminds me of the .32 caliber cartridge in that neither are as popular today as they once were."
