How much is this old Browning Humpback 12 worth?

Old buddy of mine has had it since his early 20's. He's 81 now.

Polychoke knocks down the value unfortunately.

It is definitely an old Browning. Look up the DOM here.
Even if the choke comes off the barrel was cut / modified.

Looks like it's a 1950 model

Math adds up, guy is 80, got it @20, 60 years ago would be 1955 said it was used when he got it, so that's correct based on SN and story.
Is it a Belgium made?

I believe it is Belgium made.

Best shotgun ever made. Tell him to take that fricking choke off

It is Belgium.
I see some soft edges that make me think it might be reblued, but I could be wrong.

It was reblued. It's pretty easy to tell that on those old Brownings. The original finish was much "darker"

That isn't a poly choke either. Nice gun. 400?
Posted on 2/6/15 at 7:23 pm to weagle99
Possibly. I have one on an old 20 but the vents are different. The poly was flush with the barrel...no extension.

I have that gun in a 16, sans the choke. That is one fricked up safety on the trigger guard.
I'm thinking $500.

Thanks fellas. We were just sitting and talking and he showed it to me. I told him what you all said it's worth. Honestly I thought way more but I don't know shite about gun values. That's why I asked Y'all.

I don't understand what you are saying here?

Would be worth more w/o the choke mod
