Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Superposed introduced a wide variety of innovations including the single select trigger and over-under design. This design was considered revolutionary in the 1930s, but it was later found that Browning had already made a model of this design in the 1880s. It was the last firearm to be designed by John Browning. After Browning's death, the design work was completed by his son Val A. Browning. Original production dates were 1931–1940. Original production grades were Grade I (Lightning/Standard), Pigeon, Diana and Midas.
"Lightning" is a term that Browning played fast and loose with. Pre-WW-II the "Lightning" was a quite distinct Model with a trimmer forearm and other weight saving features. When the Superposed was reintroduced after WW-II the 26 inch barrel guns were called "Lightning" and the 28-inch barrel guns "Field." In 1956 the true "Lightning" was reintroduced in 12- and 20-gauge, and in Grade 1 they have the word "Lightning" in cursive above the word BROWNING on the bottom of the receiver. The "Lightning" had visually thinner barrels.
