I would like to start off by saying that I dont know much about shotguns and I just started waterfowl hunting. I've had a Browning a5 sitting in the safe and i would like to know the year of production and model number. On the bottom of the receiver there is an "FN" surrounded by an oval which i assume stands for Fabrique Nationale. Underneath that is the letter "H" and underneath that is the number 3806. Any info on the gun would be greatly appreciated.

Your A5 was an early 1954 your serial # is H3806 the H was for standard weight 12 ga.If it had been a 16 ga the serial numbers would have been different and very hard to understand with exception that the sweet sixteen would actually say that is what it was. Serial number is the same as my old 16 ga same year, No H though ,strange as that may be.. spooky
