Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Leige (a/k/a BAC model B-26) and the Citori were both introduced to the US market in 1973 . They were introduced as an alternative to the costly Superposed. Browning was actually testing the market strength of a entry level European no frills piece, as compared to a Japanese product (Citori) manufactured at the Miroku plant, where sister company Winchester had been producing 101's and side by side 23's for several years. The Leige is a similar version of the Superposed . Same quality of fit and materials but without the tight checkering (lines per inch) and engraving.
According to the Browning Arms North America web site, "The Leige Over/Under Shotgun was introduced to the U.S. market in 1973 and discontinued in the U.S. in 1975. This shotgun is still being produced, but sold through Browning International in Belgium."
