Stunning 1980 Belgian Browning BAR Grade IV Chambered in 270win Signed by P. Lallemand

Description:
A very elegantly engraved Belgium Browning B.A.R. chambered in .270 Winchester. These Grade IV guns were made in 3 "Lots" or "Variations"

1970-1975/76 (M Series Guns): Very few produced, fully hand engraved, good wood and finish quality that you would expect from high grade Belgium made Brownings

1977-1979: These were the years where all other grades outside of the I and IV were discontinued, these guns were acid etched and the quality of the materials seemed to suffer. This was also at the height of the engravers strike and why you will notice that most all guns from these years are signed by J. Bague.

1980-1984: These guns began to much more resemble the "Custom Shop" era of Browning. The metal and wood finish quality of this era is impeccable. The engraving is extremely well detailed, painstakingly executed, and complimented very well by the higher quality metallic finish of the receiver. 

This information is based on my experience with the guns having owned/handled/observed about 20 in the last 10 years. The dates are not set in stone but in general are correct to the best of my knowledge. 

This particular example really exemplifies the quality of the last batch of Grade IV BARs they made. Just outstanding in every regard, you will look for a long time to find one comparable! Condition is excellent with only a few very faint handling marks, I would call it a 98% gun



Vintage firearms are a passion of mine. I am more than happy to provide any insight or info that I can regarding vintage Brownings or any other collectible firearms. Do not hesitate to call/text me at 402-314-2729 even if it is not about the gun I have for sale! Love talking with people who have an appreciation for them, sharing my knowledge, and learning more when I can. Lots of dishonest sellers out there, be careful when collecting or investing.

I provide a 5 day inspection period to ensure you are happy with everything and that I was accurate in my description and photographs. I hope to find good homes where these collectible pieces will be appreciated and enjoyed.

Shipping is a flat $100 to lower 48 (PRIORITY MAIL, INSURED FOR THE VALUE OF THE GUN). It will be well packaged and cared for.
