I have seen several in really nice shape lately going for over $1200. I was offered $1,000 for one of mine recently and will not sell any of them.

Interesting thread,as the exact gun that I thought about doctoring,is a 1969 Belgian Lt 12 Auto V.The gun is virtually perfect except for a finish chip off of the front edge of the grip.I am the original owner and know that the gun hasn't seen more than 600 rounds.
I have given thought over the years about building up the chip with multiple layers of poly applied by a very small brush.Not to obtain perfection,just to minimize it.Unlike most other Brownings,mine is more of a satin finish.
