Approximately one third of pre war superposeds were not sold to Browning by FN. FN had the right to sell the superposed under its name in the world outside North America and it did. All guns were numbered consecutively and there are no separate numbers for Browning and FN guns.
I have read that the very early number guns (perhaps 100 or 200) were mostly sold by FN on the world market. Your gun is one of these. Gun number 1 went to Val Browning and is the Browning museum in Ogden Utah.
Not being a Browning probably reduces the value of your gun somewhat. The FN guns have some cosmetic differences in engraving and wood from the Browning guns as well as the barrel identification.
