Well, 90% of ALL Brownings, (not just the Superposed) from the salt years had salt issues. I never heard that the Grades Ones slipped through the cracks. So, even if you don't catch one of the few, you will still be stuck with one that has the salt gun serial number and most people will shy (or run) away from them. So why buy one from those years when you can buy one for the same money from another year..... I'll never forget a few years ago, one very reputable dealer trying to be honest (but not too honest)and actually pointing out the pitting all around the firing pins on a .410 Super salt gun that he was selling for $1600.00 and telling me that it was probably caused by the gunpowder. (That way he could say he showed me the pitting if I ever came back with the gun and complained.) Yeah, right.
