Re: Browning 12 Light Auto 5

I inherited a gun just like the one in the picture and in similar condition. It has the original box and receipt and I was wondering if that would increase the value?

Puma 6393

I inherited a Puma 6393 and would like to know when it was made. It's serial number is 96083 (I think-difficult to read).
