*LIVE* Browning/FN Trombone Centennial *ANGELO BEE MASTER HAND ENGRAVED 10 of 22*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis

The FN Browning Trombone is a remarkable pump-action, long takedown rifle designed by the legendary firearms designer and inventor John M. Browning in 1919. It was meticulously crafted and manufactured by FN Herstal, who produced a total of 150,000 units between 1922 and 1974. This magnificent rifle was imported into the U.S. by Browning Arms and is renowned for its exceptional quality and accuracy. The FN Trombone is widely regarded as one of the first pump-action rimfire rifles ever made, and its enduring popularity is a testament to the ingenuity and brilliance of John Browning!


This trombone is adorned with intricate floral scroll engravings and gold inlay, which were masterfully crafted by the renowned engraver Angelo Bee. His signature is also etched into the instrument. Bee began his career at Browning in 1947 and eventually became one of America's finest engravers. This shotgun is a valuable addition to any Browning collection or for collectors who appreciate Angelo Bee's work.
