Your gun was made in 1929 in Belgium. The Browning Arms Co imported Auto 5 shotguns fron the Fabrique Nationale plant in Herstal Belgium. At that time their HQ was in Ogden Utah, where the Browning Brothers were in business. 1929 was the last full year with the Ogden Utah address. They moved their US headquarters to St. Louis in 1930. Your gun is likely a Grade I with no engraving. If it has scroll engraving on the receiver it is a GradeII. The barrel will tell you the choke designation guage and "special steel". It also says "made in belgium" on the barrel. auto5man
