It looks to have seen (over what I would guess to be many years) very light use.

If anyone has experience with these, or tips on what to look for, I'd appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Very cool. Since it was made in Belgium, it was probably produced before 1971. They are a bit more valuable.

Here's a neat little tool from the Browning website:

U.K. site, and their awesome gun laws. I'm assuming it's the only they can sell them.

Closing the loop.

Turns out it was made in 1957. Thanks for the pointer, Dex.
