Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Belgian-designed over-and-over shotgun was introduced to the United States two years after the Great Depression, in 1931. Despite its original high cost, it was regarded as a fine and valuable weapon by both shooting competitors and hunters. 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 Browning had patents on the design long before that, as far back as 1923. 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. Post-World War II production began in 1948 and lasted until 1960 when the model underwent major changes.
