Best Answer

Acier special means Special steel, and barrels marked this way are only on FN sales guns, not Browning. FN produced the guns for sale outside the US and were not imported to be sold by the Browning Co. This gun was made in 1923, but it is not a Browning Arms Company A5. The FN version is mechanically the same as the Browning version, but markings and finish may be different. Although the Blue Book of gun values doesn't differentiate these guns from the ornate Brownings, prices are lower because they are considered a European gun and not a Browning Arms Co gun. Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Auto 5's with recoil pads (other than Mag 12's) poly-chokes and compensators will reduce value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal, but keep in mind that few appraisers know the information and history of the FN guns.

Where could you find information about a gun marked Browning Acier Special 'Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre Herstal Belgique Brownings Patent Depose?

You can find information right here on WikiAnswers. You have a gun that was made by Fabrique Nationale (FN) in Herstal Belgium. FN made the Belgian Browning guns that Browning imported and sold under their own name. Most of these guns were also made and sold by FN to other World Markets; Technically, these guns are not Brownings, but FN guns. Most of the early brownings & FN guns have all these marking on their guns, with the exception of "Acier Special" which means Special Steel. Acier Special was only stamped on the FN guns, and never the Browning Arms Co. Guns. Provide the model, guage, serial number, and your question. Please give us a try to answer it for you. Thank you

History and or value for acier special-fn darmes de guerre herstal belgique brownings patent depose serial 6830 condition fair?

If it is really in NRA Fair condition, it's worth the value of any useable parts. If the gun is complete and functional, it will grade something better than fair. Since you do not indicate what model it is and FN (Fabrique Nationale) made several guns on Browning patents, about all I can say is that your gun was apparently intended for sale in continental Europe since it is marked only in French.


What is a browning fabrique nationale herstal belgique acier special c12 serial 61871 worth?

Acier special means Special steel in French, and barrels marked this way are only on FN sales guns, not Browning Arms Co. guns. Fabrique Nationale (FN) was the manufacturer of Auto 5's, for the Browning Arms Co. FN also produced the guns for sale outside the US and were not imported to be sold by the Browning Co. Providing there is no other letters as part of the serial number, this gun was made in 1928. It should be an FN Auto-5, not a Browning Arms Company A5. The gun will likely have the Fabrique Nationale de Herstal address along the ridge of the receiver, but no receiver engraving. The "c12" simply means 12ga. Cartridge. The FN version is mechanically the same as the Browning version, but markings and finish may be different. Although the Blue Book of gun values doesn't differentiate these guns from the ornate Brownings, prices are lower because of the engraving. If your gun has an engraved receiver, then it's possible that the barrel was fitted, and not original to the gun. Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Auto 5's with recoil pads (other than Mag 12's) poly-chokes and compensators will reduce value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal, but keep in mind that few appraisers know the information and history of the FN guns.
