Strange find in the safe.

Ever find a gun in your safe (s) that you dont remember buying? Happened to me last week. I knew I had a 1968 Browning A5 in immaculate condition in there.

Went to cabin last week with that gun and my Beretta 686 along for the ride. Pretty uneventful outing till I went to put the A5 back in the safe. I thought the one I took seemed to be a bit dented up but chalked it up to safe damage from getting clinked around. Low and behold, the 1968 in pristine condition was in the safe in a soft canvas case that it came in when I bought it. I have no idea where the 2nd A5 magnum came from, Wierd.. Im not a Browning guy to begin with, so its odd that i would have 2. Both 20 guage magnums//

And how old are you? Sounds like a senior moment to me. :)

The ones in the '60s are okay. The ones made in the '50s are better.

What is the basis of your opinion? All A 5s until 1975 were made in Belgium until manufacturing shifted to Japan. What makes a 1958 A5 “better” than a 1968?
Both my pieces say Made in Belgium on them.
