These guns were manufatured by FN but Browning had quality control teams that spent a lot of time making sure that they were essentially hand fitted. They did this in the 50's and early to mid 60's before the salt wood disaster that almost sank them. Many believe that these were their best made guns both manufacturing wise as well as engraving. As far as being a Belgian made Citori stop right there. The Citori is a modified design made for easier manufacture and assembly with out nearly as much hand fitting. All you need do is look at how the forearm assembly differs to see the difference. Some parts are similar but they definitely are not the same. You can get a new "Superposed" from the Browning custom shop in Belgium. It is the B-25 model. Entry level is around $12,000.00 or more depending on the value of the Euro to the Dollar and goes up to however thick your wallet is. Browning had a lifetime guarantee for the original owners of the superposed. They can be restored to near 99% by Midwest Gunworks or Art's Gun Shop and keep going forever(?). They are well worth it too, because you will get your money back if not right away in only a year or two, as they continue to appreciate. GJ
