This is a very pretty shotgun too!

Is it a lighter weight shotgun compared to other 12 gauge Browning shotguns? Is that why you said 'light' in your post?

Thank you.

It is actually called the Browning Auto 5 Light Twelve. From what I have read they stamp it on the side of the receiver with this designation because it is a lighter version of the standard .12 gauge Browning. Some people say because it only shoots 2 3/4" shells. But when carrying it in the field, as far as I am concerned, it becomes heavier to carry than my old Remington Wingmaster .12 gauge.

Great looking shotgun Dutch. I picture you with a coach gun with external hammers though.
