I understand out source engraving. My question is there any way to prove this gun was engraved by or for browning? I think it was done afterwards. After it was sold to a hunter who wanted to dress up his new automatic like his old double gun. The scenes are classic ones which you can find on a number of well made Germanic doubles. I could see someone buying a plain A5, shooting it and then sending it out to have it engraved in Germany or Austria in the style that they did all good doubles. Perhaps he sent a eching of what he wanted directly to browning and they did it for him. Without documentation or another a5 done like this one I will think after not factory.
As to value it will be worth what ever the buyer decides he is willing to pay for it. True value is what he can sell it for when he tires of it and the second buyer pays for it. We will know then if the first guy paid too much like many of us tend to do when buying rare, seldom seen or just old guns as my wife calls them. Thanks for sharing an interesting gun.
