Go to gunbroker.com and take a look at the 100 or so Browning A-5 semi automatic shotguns that are offered. Prices start ( in Aug 2007) at 200 and go to $1000 for a Belgiumj A-5 new in the box. Rebluing will reduce the value of your gun by 50% at least and if the general condition of the gun, dents, dings, rust, are present the gun is further devalued. Engraving enhances the value of a gun especially if it is custom factory engraving. Good luck
