Date Historic Information Serial Number Info
1973-75 In 1969 Browning started using two digits for the date of manufacture which was followed by one of the following codes:
H=12 ga.
N=20ga.
Later the code was changed to J=both gauges
This was then followed by the serial number beginning with 00001.
Example: 00001H37 = A 1973 Citori 12 ga. shotgun with a serial number of 00001.

H=12 ga.
N=20 ga.
Later the code was changed to J=both gauges

37=1973
47=1974

1976-1997 In 1975 Browning standardized its serial number identification which it follows to the present day.
