I think it matters if they change the serial number on a gun...

Don't you think anytime someone fakes something it hurts the collect-ability of it.

As far as the upgraded 28,,have Angelo not only sign it but date it as well.

Art worked for Browning for 25 years, many of them repairing SaltWood guns.

This gun has been a Browning shotgun since its production well over 25 years ago.
Point to the fake part. No serial numbers have been changed. WTF is your problem?

jOe, you've shown yourself to be one of if not thee most ethically and morally bankrupt contributors on the board.
I find the hypocrisy of your questioning coupled with your past unscrupulous behavior to be laughable.
The DoubleGun community is fortunate to have you as our defender of value and all things original.

I'm going to enjoy shooting the gun for the next 25 years and then I'm going to be buried with it when I die. Feel better?

I didn't say they'd been changed or that they were going to be changed on this gun.

Bob:

Check your math. 2% of 2% is .04%, at least on my calculator. Still makes
them darned rare in any case.

Allow me to clarify, according to Schwing, 1964 - 1977
Superposed shotguns...120,465
28 gauge Superposed ...2896
Superposed Pointers...51

51 / 120,465 = .00042 or 1 out of 2500

Sorry for the confusion.

Got it. But expressed as a percentage, it's 0.042%

Plus at least one phony

Always the last word, never a kind word.
At what point in your life did you become such a big a$$hOle
you stopped caring that just about everyone thinks your a big a$$hOle?

Bob here's what a Browning collector sent me after reading your thread . I'm posting it with his permission.

The whole thing is, less than 50 super light Pointer 28 ga were factory made. Collectors know superlights were not salt. Now, there's another one. Upgrades of rare pieces diminish the sanctity of factory original. He's making it a superlight so no one will question the salt. Rare guns like that were not always recorded by browning. So, who is to say it's not factory original when it's done. These upgrades serve to dilute the rarity and splendor and sanctity of the factory original.

End of quote...does "sanctity" matter bOb ?

bOb I sure hate you sold that really nice model 21 Winchester to finance this unsanctimonious project.
