Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
"X Prefix Series" are among the rarest of the A5 Sweet Sixteen. 1937 is the first year of standard production of the 2 ¾ inch chambered 16 gauge. 1948 is the last year of the non-engraved sweet sixteen. Introduction of the "Sweet Sixteen" in script engraved on the receiver. Prior to 1948, no sweet 16 was factory engraved "Sweet Sixteen." Glen Jensen, Browning Historian took the position with me that the true "Sweet Sixteen" was born when the receiver was engraved "Sweet Sixteen" in 1948. He acknowledged the lightweight A5 16 gauge guns produced between 1936 and 1947 are in fact Sweet Sixteen and identified as such in the factory-issued catalogs.
The Browning Automatic 5, most often Auto-5 or simply A-5, is a recoil-operated semi-automatic shotgun designed by John Browning. It was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun design, and remained in production until 1998. The name of the shotgun designates that it is an autoloader with a capacity of five rounds, four in the magazine and one in the chamber.
