It is called many things. Some call is a Light 12. Others call it a Auto 5 or A-5.

The paperwork that came with it new says Browning Auto 12 gauge.

I know it was way ahead of it's time and has features not found on guns today. It will reach out a lot longer distances than any of my newer shotguns.

But it was $453 back in 1953. That was more than most people would make in two months back then. And for those not old enough to remember, there were no Visa, Mastercard or American Express back then.
