During this period, a total of 5,000 units were crafted, making it a relatively rare find for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
When Browning decided to produce shotguns through Miroku, it marked a significant moment in firearm history, particularly because Winchester had recently discontinued its famed Model 12 and Model 42.? This transition offered a unique opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors: for some, it was their first chance to procure a new production shotgun connected to the legacy of the Model 12, a beloved firearm known for its reliability and performance. For many others, however, this represented a final opportunity to acquire a high-quality pump-action shotgun, as vintage models were becoming increasingly rare in the market. One of the standout offerings from this collaboration is the Browning Model 12 Limited Edition Grade V 28 Gauge. Produced between 1991 and 1992, this shotgun is a Japanese-made reissue of the iconic Winchester Model 12, a shotgun that has long been revered in the shooting community. The production was limited to only 5,000 units, making it a highly sought-after collectible. The Grade V designation signifies a higher level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, appealing to both serious shooters and collectors alike. This particular example, chambered in 28 gauge, features a beautifully crafted 26-inch barrel that is modified-choke bored to enhance versatility in various shooting applications. The shotgun is further enhanced by a Select Walnut stock and forearm, which are exquisitely checkered to 22 lines per inch, delivering an elegant yet functional grip. Additionally, the high gloss finish accentuates the natural beauty of the wood, contributing to its aesthetic appeal. The extensive game scene engraving, which includes multiple gold inlays, showcases the artistry and craftsmanship that went into each piece, making it not just a functional firearm but also a work of art that stands out in any collection.
